This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local"
implementations in several places to use this function.
Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems. The sound part
had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S.
Miller.
I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code
carefully before making changes there.

CS4236+ driver
Background: The card/chipset supports an external MIDI interrupt. By
default, this interrupt isn't used (because the isapnp mechanism chooses a
configuration without an assigned interrupt). If the user wishes to
explicitly select an interrupt via the mpu_irq parameter for such a
configured device, it doesn't work: The driver always shows:
isapnp MPU: port=0x330, irq=-1
(note the 'irq=-1')
Problem: The driver only allows to set the irq if pnp_irq_valid returns
true for this particular pnp device. This, however, is only true if an
interrupt has already been assigned (pnp_valid_irq returns true if the flag
IORESOURCE_IRQ is set and IORESOURCE_UNSET is not set). If no interrupt
has been assigned so far, IORESOURCE_UNSET is set and pnp_irq_valid returns
false, thereby inhibiting the selection of a valid irq.
Solution: Don't check for a valid (= already assigned) irq at the point of
calling pnp_resource_change.
Tested successfully on Linux 2.6.11.

Checking a pointer for NULL before calling kfree() on it is redundant,
kfree() deals with NULL pointers just fine.
This patch removes such checks from sound/
This patch also makes another, but closely related, change.
It avoids casting pointers about to be kfree()'ed.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
