- remove the following global function that is both unused and
unimplemented:
- register_firmware()
- make the following needlessly global function static:
- firmware_class_uevent()

The fw_realloc_buffer routine does not handle an increase in buffer size of
more than 4k. It's not clear to me why it expects that it will only get an
extra 4k of data. The attached patch modifies fw_realloc_buffer to vmalloc
as much memory as is requested, instead of what we previously had + 4k.
I've tested this on my laptop, which would crash occaisionally on boot
without the patch. With the patch, it hasn't crashed, but I can't be
certain that this code path is exercised.

many more drivers/ to go)

Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling
real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports
the state to userspace and generates events.

Upgrade the request_firmware_nowait function to not start the hotplug
action on a firmware update.
This patch is tested along with dell_rbu driver on i386 and x86-64 systems.

Here we add a TIMEOUT value to the hotplug environment of the firmware
requesting event. I will adapt udevd not to wait for anything else, if
it finds a TIMEOUT key.

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!
