This patch (as908) adds central protection in usbcore for the
prototypical race between opening and unregistering a char device.
The spinlock used to protect the minor-numbers array is replaced with
an rwsem, which can remain locked across a call to a driver's open()
method. This guarantees that open() and deregister() will be mutually
exclusive.
The private locks currently used in several individual drivers for
this purpose are no longer necessary, and the patch removes them. The
following USB drivers are affected: usblcd, idmouse, auerswald,
legousbtower, sisusbvga/sisusb, ldusb, adutux, iowarrior, and
usb-skeleton.
As a side effect of this change, usb_deregister_dev() must not be
called while holding a lock that is acquired by open(). Unfortunately
a number of drivers do this, but luckily the solution is simple: call
usb_deregister_dev() before acquiring the lock.
In addition to these changes (and their consequent code
simplifications), the patch fixes a use-after-free bug in adutux and a
race between open() and release() in iowarrior.

Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.
Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make needlessly global functions static
- function and struct declarations belong into header files
- make SiS_VCLKData const
- #if 0 the following unused global functions:
- sisusb.c: sisusb_writew()
- sisusb.c: sisusb_readw()
- sisusb_init.c: SiSUSB_GetModeID()

Convert the semaphores-used-as-mutex to mutexes in the sisusb video driver;
this required manual checking due to the "return as locked" stuff in this
driver, but the ->lock semaphore is still used as mutex in the end.

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.
A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.
There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched. In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

here is a new and extended version of the sisusbvga (previously: sisusb)
driver. The patch is against 2.6.13 and updates the driver to version 0.0.8.
Additions include complete VGA/EGA text console support and a build-in
display mode infrastructure for userland applications that don't know
about the graphics internals.
Fixes include some BE/LE issues and a get/put_dev bug in the previous
version.
Other changes include a change of the module name from "sisusb" to
"sisusbvga". The previous one was too generic IMHO.
Please note that the patch also affects the Makefile in
drivers/video/console as the driver requires the VGA 8x16 font in case
the text console part is selected.
Heavily tested, as usual. Please apply.
One thing though: I already prepared for removal of the "mode" field and
the changed "name" field in the usb_class_driver structure. This will
perhaps need some refinement depending on whether you/Linus merge the
respective core changes before or after 2.6.14.
