Making structs const prevents accidental bugs and with the proper debug
options they're protected against corruption.

I looked at the userspace code which uses the LPIOC_GET_DEVICE_ID ioctl
and I almost went blind. Let's export it in sysfs instead, and just as a
string instead of with a big-endian length at the beginning of it.
This also prints the message about finding the printer _after_ we know
the minor device number it's going to have, rather than reporting all
printers as 'usblp0'.

David has a G5 with a printer. I am quite surprised that nobody else noticed
this before. Linus has a G5. Hackers hate printing in general, maybe.
We do not use BKL anymore, because one of code paths had a sleeping call,
so we had to use a semaphore. I am sure it's safe to use unlocked_ioctl.
The new ioctls return long and retval is int. It looks completely fine to me.
We never want these extra bits, and the sign extension ought to work right.

patch below marks various USB tables and variables as const so that they
end up in .rodata section and don't cacheline share with things that get
written to. For the non-array variables it also allows gcc to optimize
more.

Rate-limit usblp printer error status messages.
I unplugged my USB printer and almost instantly got several hundred

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!
