While reviewing various users of kernel memory allocation functions I came
across drivers/input/serio/hil_mlc.c::hil_mlc_register() and noticed that:
- it calls kzalloc() but fails to check for a NULL return before use.
- it makes several allocations and if one fails it doesn't free the
previous ones.
- It doesn't return -ENOMEM in the failed memory allocation case (it just
crashes).
This patch corrects all of the above and also reworks the only caller of
this function that I could find
(drivers/input/serio/hp_sdc_mlc.c::hp_sdc_mlc_out()) so that it now checks
the return value of hil_mlc_register() and properly propagates it on
failure and I also restructured the code to remove some labels and goto's
to make it, IMHO nicer to read.

Some input drivers do not check whether they're actually running on the
correct platform, causing multi-platform kernels to crash if they are not.

- mark some structures const or __read_mostly
- hilkbd.c: fix uninitialized spinlock in HIL keyboard driver
- hil_mlc.c: use USEC_PER_SEC instead of 1000000
- hp_sdc: bugfix for request_irq()/free_irq() parameters, this prevented
multiple load/unload cycles as module

this changes if() BUG(); constructs to BUG_ON() which is
cleaner and can better optimized away

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

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!
