This wraps up the conversion of the "usbnet" driver structure, by
moving the Prolific PL-2201/2302 minidriver to a module of its own.
It also includes some minor cleanups to the remaining "usbnet" file,
notably removing that long changelog at the top.
Minor historical note: Linux 2.2 first called the driver for
this hardware "plusb".

This adds host-side RNDIS support to the "usbnet" driver, so Linux can talk
to various devices (often based on WinCE) that otherwise only Windows could
talk to.
Tested with little-endian Linux talking to a Linux-USB Ethernet/RNDIS based
peripheral. This also includes updates from Eddie C. Dost <ecd@brainaid.de>
for big-endian SPARC Linux talking to a Nokia 9500 Communicator.
It's still marked as EXPERIMENTAL because this code is so young. This
ought to let Linux to work with various cable modems that previously
would have been "Windows Only".

Makes the CDC Ethernet support live in a separate driver module.
This module is a bit special since it exports utility functions
that are reused by the the Zaurus and RNDIS drivers, but it's
not "core" like usbnet itself.

This moves usbnet support for Zaurus and compatibles into its own module.
Other than exporting a couple of helper functions, this just involved
shuffling some code and updating the comments.

This moves the GeneSys GL620USB-A support into its own driver file.
It also fixes a "return wrong skb" glitch in the rx unbatching, as
recently reported, and adds some missing byteswaps in the special
"genelink" headers (so it might now work on big-endian Linux).

As with the "cdc_subset" and "asix" drivers, this just moves the net1080
support into its one driver module. In this case there's a small bit of
extra cleanup involved, moving some funky framing logic into the tx_fixup()
routine (resolving a long overdue FIXME).
Minor historical note: "usbnet" started out as "net1080", then got
generalized to make it easier for other network drivers to reuse the
urb queueing and fault management code here.

This patch moves the ASIX AX8817x driver into its own file, just using
the "usbnet" infrastructure as a utility library.
- As with "cdc_subset" this involved minor Kconfig/kbuild tweaks,
moving code from one file to another, and exporting a few functions.
- This includes updates from Jamie Painter to add (and use) a new hook
to handle the different maximum transfer sizes for rx and tx sides.
- Also from Jamie, some bugfixes:
* MDIO byteorder (to address some PPC media negotiation problems);
* Force alignment at key spots when using ax88772 framing (on some
embedded hardware, the network stack will break otherwise);
* Address some link reset problems.
It also makes this driver use the standard (5 seconds vs half second)
control timeouts used elsewhere in USB; and wraps a few lines before
the 80th column (which previously needed it).

This patch creates the first of several separate "minidriver" modules
for "usbnet". This one handles only the very simplest hardware, which
can be handled almost entirely by the "usbnet" core.
- Move device-specific bits into new "cdc_subset.c" driver,
shrinking "usbnet" by a bunch;
- Export the functions needed to support this minidriver
(with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL);
- Update Kconfig and kbuild accordingly.
This one handles about a dozen different device types, with the most
notable ones being Gumstix and most Linux-based PDAs (except Zaurus
running that ancient code from Sharp).

This starts to prepare the core of "usbnet" to know less about various
framing protocols that map Ethernet packets onto USB, so "minidrivers"
can be modules that just plug into the core.
- Remove some framing-specific code that cluttered the core:
* net->hard_header_len records how much space to preallocate;
now drivers that add their own framing (Net1080, GeneLink,
Zaurus, and RNDIS) will have smoother TX paths. Even for
the drivers (Zaurus, Net1080) that need trailers.
* defines new dev->hard_mtu, using this "hardware" limit to
check changes to the link's settable "software" mtu.
* now net->hard_header_len and dev->hard_mtu are set up in the
driver bind() routines, if needed.
- Transaction ID is no longer specific to the Net1080 framing;
RNDIS needs one too.
- Creates a new "usbnet.h" header with declarations that are shared
between the core and what will be separate modules.
- Plus a couple other minor tweaks, like recognizing -ESHUTDOWN
means the keventd work should just shut itself down asap.
The core code is only about 1/3 of this large file. Splitting out the
minidrivers into separate modules (e.g. ones for ASIX adapters,
Zaurii and similar, CDC Ethernet, etc), in later patches, will
improve maintainability and shrink typical runtime footprints.

Updates to the usbnet driver:
- Remove a warning when built with Zaurus support but not CDC Ethernet;
just moves an #ifdef to cover more code
- Two tweaks to the pseudo-MDLM support:
* correctly handle _either_ of the two GUIDs
* ignore a padding bit that doesn't seem necessary
- Remove ID for one Motorola phone that uses the MDLM stuff.
It also updates the Kconfig helptext to make it clearer that the "Zaurus"
configuration option supports an increasing (sigh) family of nonstandard
peripheral protocols.

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!
