This patch adds a new driver for "Option" cards. This is a GSM data card,
controlled by three "serial ports" which are connected via an OHCI adapter,
all located on an oversized PC-Card. It's sold by several GSM service
providers.
Traditionally, this card has been accessed via the standard serial driver
and appropriate vendor= and product= options. However, testing has
revealed several problems with this approach, including hung data transfers
and lost data blocks when receiving.
Therefore, I've written a separate driver.

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!
