Add a class which allows for an easier integration with udev.
This code was originally written by Paolo Abeni, and arrived to my tree
as a part of big patch to add binary API on December 18. As I understand,
Paolo always meant the class to be a part of the whole thing. This is his
udev rule to go along with the patch:
KERNEL=="usbmon[0-9]*", NAME="usbmon%n", MODE="0440",OWNER="root",GROUP="bin"

Add the "bus zero" feature to the usbmon. If a user process specifies bus
with number zero, it receives events from all buses. This is useful when
we wish to see initial enumeration when a bus is created, typically after
a modprobe. Until now, an application had to loop until a new bus could
be open, then start capturing on it. This procedure was cumbersome and
could lose initial events. Also, often it's too bothersome to find exactly
to which bus a specific device is attached.
Paolo Albeni provided the original concept implementation. I added the
handling of "bus->monitored" flag and generally fixed it up.

This patch adds a new text API, codenamed '1u', which captures more URB
fields than old '1t' interface did. Also the '1u' text API is compatible
with the future "bus zero" extension.

mon_bin_exit() and mon_text_exit() are called from __init code, so don't mark
them as __exit.

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.

This patch (as755b) fixes a bug in usbmon. Rather than assuming all
USB host controllers use DMA, the code will check the usb_bus data
structure. If DMA isn't used, we don't want to try peeking into a
non-existent DMA buffer!

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

This update contains one bug fix: some lines can come out truncated,
because of the safety cutoff. This happened because I forgot to update
the size when status packets began to be printed.
The rest is:
- Comments updates
- Allow snooping with pkmap on x86_64, which is cache-coherent
- Enlarge event buffers (certainly we can have a couple of pages)
- Add event counter
First touch upon usbmon for 2.6.18.

This code looks at urb->transfer_dma, maps the page and takes the data.
I am looking for volunteers to contribute architectures other than i386
or to develop an architecure-neutral API for it (or point me that it
was done already).

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!
