Some devices, like md, may create partitions only at first access,
so allow root= to be set to a valid non-existant partition of an
existing disk. This applies only to non-initramfs root mounting.
This fixes a regression from 2.6.24 which did allow this to happen and
broke some users machines :(

There is a possible data race in the page table walking code. After the split
ptlock patches, it actually seems to have been introduced to the core code, but
even before that I think it would have impacted some architectures (powerpc
and sparc64, at least, walk the page tables without taking locks eg. see
find_linux_pte()).
The race is as follows:
The pte page is allocated, zeroed, and its struct page gets its spinlock
initialized. The mm-wide ptl is then taken, and then the pte page is inserted
into the pagetables.
At this point, the spinlock is not guaranteed to have ordered the previous
stores to initialize the pte page with the subsequent store to put it in the
page tables. So another Linux page table walker might be walking down (without
any locks, because we have split-leaf-ptls), and find that new pte we've
inserted. It might try to take the spinlock before the store from the other
CPU initializes it. And subsequently it might read a pte_t out before stores
from the other CPU have cleared the memory.
There are also similar races in higher levels of the page tables. They
obviously don't involve the spinlock, but could see uninitialized memory.
Arch code and hardware pagetable walkers that walk the pagetables without
locks could see similar uninitialized memory problems, regardless of whether
split ptes are enabled or not.
I prefer to put the barriers in core code, because that's where the higher
level logic happens, but the page table accessors are per-arch, and open-coding
them everywhere I don't think is an option. I'll put the read-side barriers
in alpha arch code for now (other architectures perform data-dependent loads
in order).

Various fixes to Atmel's high speed UDC driver.
* Issue some missing disconnect() calls. Currently they are only made
when VBUS power goes away (on boards where the driver can sense such
changes), but that's not enough for gadget drivers to clean out all
the state that's needed. Missing calls were:
- After USB reset, before starting enumeration.
- When unregistering a gadget driver, before unbind().
* Don't assume gadget drivers provide disconnect callbacks; make sure
to not call through a null pointer!
* When the driver doesn't provide an unbind() callback, refuse to
unregister it.
Also remove two bogus "error" messages:
* Related to mis-handling of disconnect() ... don't emit error messages
for disconnect() handlers that disable endpoints. All of them should
be doing that; the problem is (unfixed) oddness in atmel_usba_udc.
* Don't emit a diagnostic for a curious and transient nonfatal error
that shows up sometimes with EP0.
Those messages spammed syslog, for no good reason.

Microchip has changed the PICDEM FS USB demo device (0x04d8:000c)
to use bulk transfer and not interrupt transfer. So I've updated the libusb
based program here (Post #31).
http://forum.microchip.com/tm.aspx?m=106426&mpage=2
So I believe that the in-kernel ldusb driver will no longer work with the
demo firmware. It should be removed.

Bugfix some serial gadget descriptors:
- Stop mangling the low bits (controller type ID) of bcdDevice;
just use the high bits for a driver revision code.
- Serial numbers that aren't specific to individual devices
are useless; stop reporting "0" for this.
- Since it's not part of a CDC-conformant function, the "bulk only"
configuration shouldn't be using "CDC Data" as its interface class.
Switch over to using CLASS_VENDOR_SPEC (different value, 0xff).

Switch serial gadget away from a *very* old idiom: just remember
the endpoints we'll be using, instead of looking them up by name
each time. This is a net code and data (globals) shrink.
Also fix a small memory leak in the rmmod path, by working the
same as the disconnect code.

This removes a needless data structure from the serial gadget code;
it's a small code shrink, and a larger data shrink.
Since "struct usb_request" already has a "struct list_head" reserved
for use by gadget drivers, the serial gadget code doesn't need to
allocate wrapper structs to hold that list ... it can (and should!)
just use the list_head provided for that exact use.

Some cleanup/reorg of g_serial ... simplifying it, and disentangling
its structure so morphing it into a "function" driver (combinable with
other interfaces) should be less painful.
- Remove most forward declarations
* put tty and gadget driver structs after their contents
* snug module init/exit decls next to their functions
* reordered some functions
- Other cleanup:
* convert a funky macro to an inline function
* snug up module params next to their declarations
* add missing driver.owner
* add separator lines between major driver sections
- Add comments re potential parameter/#define changes:
* only supports one port (shrank GS_NUM_PORTS)
* changing from 9600-8-N-1 affects multiple sites
- Remove net2280-specific optimization ... it was being done
way too late, can be done by net2280 module options, and in
any case doesn't matter at any sane serial data rates.
There are no behavioral changes, but the macro thing saves I-space.

This device is not a serial port, but a virtual CD-ROM device. For
example with my Novatel MC950D:
lsusb -v -d 1410:5010 | grep InterfaceClass
bInterfaceClass 8 Mass Storage
After some time (ca. 5min) or if virtual CD is ejected, device id
changes to 1410:4400:
% lsusb -v -d 1410:4400 | grep InterfaceClass
bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class
bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class
Variable name says that 0x5010 is a Novatel U727, but searching in
internet shows, that this device also provides virtual CD that should be
ejected before use. Product id for serial port in this case is 0x4100.

The patch below is a necessary workaround to support the Zoom Telephonics Model 3095F V.92 USB Mini External modem, which fails to initialise properly during normal probing thus:
May 3 22:53:00 imcfarla kernel: drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: Zero length descriptor references
May 3 22:53:00 imcfarla kernel: cdc_acm: probe of 5-2:1.0 failed with error -22
Adding the patch below causes the probing section to be skipped, and the modem
then initialises correctly.

This patch (as1087d) fixes a long-standing problem in usbcore: Device,
interface, and endpoint attributes aren't added until _after_ the
creation uevent has already been broadcast.
Unfortunately there are a few attributes which cannot be created that
early. The "descriptors" attribute is binary and so must be created
separately. The power-management attributes can't be created until
the dev/power/ group exists. And the interface string can vary from
one altsetting to another, so it has to be created dynamically.
