Another step towards proper locking: Rework the callback provided to
capidrv for controller state changes. This is so far attached to an
application, which would require us to hold the corresponding lock
across notification calls.
But there is no direct relation between a controller up/down event and
an application, so let's decouple them and provide a notifier call chain
for those events instead. This notifier chain is first of all used
internally. Here we request the highest priority to unsure that
housekeeping work is done before any other notifications. The chain is
exported via [un]register_capictr_notifier to our only user, capidrv, to
replace the racy and unfixable capi20_set_callback.

None of these files use any of the functionality promised by
asm/semaphore.h. It's possible that they (or some user of them) rely
on it dragging in some unrelated header file, but I can't build all
these files, so we'll have to fix any build failures as they come up.

The CAPI 2.0 driver uses a semaphore as mutex. Use the mutex API instead of
the (binary) semaphore.

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!
