This lets us remove a lot of code in the drivers that were all checking
the same thing. It also found some bugs in a few of the drivers, which
has been fixed up.

This patch fixes the long standing schedule with interrupts off problem
of the uss720 driver. The problem is caused by the parport layer calling
the save and restore methods within a write_lock_irqsave guarded region.
The fix is to issue the control transaction requests required by save
and restore asynchronously.

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!
