Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of new char/misc driver drivers and features for
4.12-rc1.
There's lots of new drivers added this time around, new firmware
drivers from Google, more auxdisplay drivers, extcon drivers, fpga
drivers, and a bunch of other driver updates. Nothing major, except if
you happen to have the hardware for these drivers, and then you will
be happy :)
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"

Pull networking updates from David Millar:
"Here are some highlights from the 2065 networking commits that
happened this development cycle:
1) XDP support for IXGBE (John Fastabend) and thunderx (Sunil Kowuri)
2) Add a generic XDP driver, so that anyone can test XDP even if they
lack a networking device whose driver has explicit XDP support
(me).
3) Sparc64 now has an eBPF JIT too (me)
4) Add a BPF program testing framework via BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN (Alexei
Starovoitov)
5) Make netfitler network namespace teardown less expensive (Florian
Westphal)
6) Add symmetric hashing support to nft_hash (Laura Garcia Liebana)
7) Implement NAPI and GRO in netvsc driver (Stephen Hemminger)
8) Support TC flower offload statistics in mlxsw (Arkadi Sharshevsky)
9) Multiqueue support in stmmac driver (Joao Pinto)
10) Remove TCP timewait recycling, it never really could possibly work
well in the real world and timestamp randomization really zaps any
hint of usability this feature had (Soheil Hassas Yeganeh)
11) Support level3 vs level4 ECMP route hashing in ipv4 (Nikolay
Aleksandrov)
12) Add socket busy poll support to epoll (Sridhar Samudrala)
13) Netlink extended ACK support (Johannes Berg, Pablo Neira Ayuso,
and several others)
14) IPSEC hw offload infrastructure (Steffen Klassert)"

The contents of proc_usb_info.txt complements what's there at
driver-api usb book. Yet, it is outdated, as it still refers
to the USB character devices as usbfs.
So, move the contents to usb.rst, adjusting it to point to
the right places.

There's no usbfs anymore. The old features are now either
exported to /dev/bus/usb or via debugfs.

The URB doc describes the Kernel mechanism that do USB transfers.
While the functions are already described at urb.h, there are a
number of concepts and theory that are important for USB driver
developers.
Convert it to ReST and use C ref links to point to the places
at usb.h where each function and struct is located.
A few of those descriptions were incomplete. While here, update
to reflect the current API status.

This file is actually quite complex, and required several
manual handwork:
- add a title for the document;
- use the right tags for monospaced fonts;
- use c references where needed;
- adjust cross-reference to writing_usb_driver.rst
- hightlight cross-referenced lines.
With regards to C code snippet line highlights, the better would be
to use :linenos: for the C code snippets that are referenced by
the line number. However, at least with Sphinx 1.4.9, enabling
it cause the line number to be misaligned with the code,
making it even more confusing. So, instead, let's use
:emphasize-lines: tag to mark the lines that are referenced
at the text.
