Since function tables are a common target for attackers, it's best to keep
them in read-only memory. As such, this makes the CDROM device ops tables
const. This drops additionally n_minors, since it isn't used meaningfully,
and sets the only user of cdrom_dummy_generic_packet explicitly so the
variables can all be const.
Inspired by similar changes in grsecurity/PaX.

Now unregister_cdrom() always returns 0.
Make it return void and update all callers that check the return value.

* Convert files to UTF-8.
* Also correct some people's names
(one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file.
Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file
indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss',
which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to
7bit.)
* Correct town names (Goettingen -> Göttingen)
* Update Eberhard Mönkeberg's address (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/8/313)

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!
