This is the usbatm part of the Arjan, Jes and Ingo
mass semaphore to mutex conversion, reworked to apply on top
of the patches I just sent to you. This time, with correct
attribution and signed-off lines.

While the usbatm core has had some support for using isoc urbs
for some time, there was no way for users to turn it on. While
use of isoc transfer should still be considered experimental, it
now works well enough to let users turn it on. Minidrivers signal
to the core that they want to use isoc transfer by setting the new
UDSL_USE_ISOC flag. The speedtch minidriver gets a new module
parameter enable_isoc (defaults to false), plus some logic that
checks for the existence of an isoc receive endpoint (not all
speedtouch modems have one).

Have minidrivers and the core signal special requirements
using a flags field in struct usbatm_data. For the moment
this is only used to replace the need_heavy_init bind
parameter, but there'll be new flags in later patches.

29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."
Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."
