With dynamic minor numbers, we can increase the number of sound cards.
This requires that the sequencer client numbers of some kernel drivers
are allocated dynamically, too.

Modules: ALSA Core,ALSA Minor Numbers
Add an option to allocate device file minor numbers dynamically.

Instead of storing the pointers to the device-specific structures in an
array, put them into the struct snd_minor, and look them up dynamically.
This makes the device type modules independent of the minor number
encoding.

Modules: ALSA Core
Store the snd_minor structure pointers in one array instead of using a
separate list for each card. This simplifies the mapping from device
files to minor struct by removing the need to know about the encoding
of the card number in the minor number.

Instead of a comment string, store the device type in the snd_minor
structure. This makes snd_minor more flexible, and has the nice side
effect that we don't need anymore to create a separate snd_minor
template for registering a device but can pass the file_operations
directly to snd_register_device().

Modules: ALSA Core,Control Midlevel,/oss/Makefile
Remove the centralized PM control in the sound core.
Each driver is responsible to get callbacks from bus/driver now.
SND_GENERIC_DRIVER is removed together with this action.

This allows us to eliminate the casts in the drivers, and eventually
remove the use of the device_driver function pointer methods for
platform device drivers.

Modules: ALSA Core,ALSA Minor Numbers
Remove the unused and undefined symbols SNDRV_DEVICE_TYPE_{MIXER,
PCM_PLOOP,PCM_CLOOP}, and introduce a new symbol SNDRV_MINOR_GLOBAL
for non-card-specific devices like the sequencer or the timer.

- Remove vmalloc wrapper
- Add release_and_free_resource() to remove kfree_nocheck() from each driver
and simplify the code

The previous patch adding the ability to nest struct class_device
changed the paramaters to the call class_device_create(). This patch
fixes up all in-kernel users of the function.

ALSA Core
A new function snd_card_set_generic_dev() is introduced to add the
'generic device' support for devices without proper bus on sysfs.
It's a last resort, and should be removed in future when they have
a proper bus, instead.

fixed kconfig dependencies on ISA_DMA_API for parts of sound/* that rely

This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local"
implementations in several places to use this function.
Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems. The sound part
had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S.
Miller.
I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code
carefully before making changes there.

- #if 0 the following unused global functions
- remove the following unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL's

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!
