This patch (as1048) extends the descriptor checking after a device is
reset. Now the SerialNumber string descriptor is compared to its old
value, in addition to the device and configuration descriptors.
As a consequence, the kmalloc() call in usb_string() is now on the
error-handling pathway for usb-storage. Hence its allocation type is
changed to GFO_NOIO.

This patch (as1047) removes the USB_PERSIST Kconfig option, enabling
it permanently. It also prevents the power/persist attribute from
being created for hub devices; there's no point in having it since
USB-PERSIST is always turned on for hubs.

G_PRINTER: Adds a USB printer gadget driver for use in printer firmware.
This adds a USB printer gadget driver for use in printer firmware.
The printer gadget channels data between the USB host and a userspace
program driving the print engine. The user space program reads and
writes the device file /dev/g_printer to receive or send printer data.
It can use ioctl calls to the device file to get or set printer status.

This patch (as1014) was partly written by Tilman Schmidt. It
clarifies the USB power-management documentation by explaining that
when a disconnect occurs, a suspend method call might not be followed
by either a resume or a reset_resume call.

Update usbmon documentation, mentioning the "zero" (wildcard) bus.
Possibly, in my first hunk, the 'either ... or ...' should be rephrased a bit to

This patch updates some of the documentation about DMA buffer management
for USB, and ways to avoid extra copying. Our understanding of the issues
has improved over time.
- Most drivers should *avoid* the dma-coherent allocators. There are
a few exceptions (like the HID driver).
- Some methods are currently commented out; it seems folk writing
USB drivers aren't doing performance tuning at that level yet.
- Just avoid highmem; there's no good way to pass an "I can do highmem
DMA" capability through a driver stack. This is easy, everything
already avoids highmem. But it'd be nice if x86_32 systems with much
physical memory could use it directly with network adapters and mass
storage devices. (Patch, anyone?)

This patch (as920) adds an extra level of protection to the
USB-Persist facility. Now it will apply by default only to hubs; for
all other devices the user must enable it explicitly by setting the
power/persist device attribute.
The disconnect_all_children() routine in hub.c has been removed and
its code placed inline. This is the way it was originally as part of
hub_pre_reset(); the revised usage in hub_reset_resume() is
sufficiently different that the code can no longer be shared.
Likewise, mark_children_for_reset() is now inline as part of
hub_reset_resume(). The end result looks much cleaner than before.
The sysfs interface is updated to add the new attribute file, and
there are corresponding documentation updates.

This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility,
allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system
suspend.
The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate
warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the
behavior will remain the same as it is now. But when the option is
on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB
filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small
machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!

This patch adds a new, "binary" API in addition to the old, text API usbmon
had before. The new API allows for less CPU use, and it allows to capture
all data from a packet where old API only captured 32 bytes at most. There
are some limitations and conditions to this, e.g. in case someone constructs
a URB with 1GB of data, it's not likely to be captured, because even the
huge buffers of the new reader are finite. Nonetheless, I expect this new
capability to capture all data for all real life scenarios.
The downside is, a special user mode application is required where cat(1)
worked before. I have sample code at http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/
and Paolo Abeni is working on patching libpcap.
This patch was initially written by Paolo and later I tweaked it, and
we had a little back-and-forth. So this is a jointly authored patch, but
I am submitting this I am responsible for the bugs.
