bc1d6937e6 [IRDA]: stir4200, switching to the kthread API
stir4200 uses a kernel thread for its TX/RX operations, and it is now
converted to the kernel kthread API.
Tested on an STIR4200 based dongle.

75318d2d7c [PATCH] USB: remove .owner field from struct usb_driver
It is no longer needed, so let's remove it, saving a bit of memory.

3173c8907f [PATCH] drivers/net: fix-up schedule_timeout() usage
Use schedule_timeout_interruptible() instead of
set_current_state()/schedule_timeout() to reduce kernel size.

3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

   frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

27d72e8572 [PATCH] usb suspend updates (interface suspend)
This is the first of a few installments of PM API updates to match the
recent switch to "pm_message_t".  This installment primarily affects
USB device drivers (for USB interfaces), and it changes the handful of
drivers which currently implement suspend methods:

    - <linux/usb.h> and usbcore, signature change

    - Some drivers only changed the signature, net effect this just
      shuts up "sparse -Wbitwise":
	* hid-core
	* stir4200

    - Two network drivers did that, and also grew slightly more
      featureful suspend code ... they now properly shut down
      their activities.  (As should stir4200...)
	* pegasus
	* usbnet

Note that the Wake-On-Lan (WOL) support in pegasus doesn't yet work; looks
to me like it's missing a request to turn it on, vs just configuring it.
The ASIX code in usbnet also has WOL hooks that are ready to use; untested.

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!
