USB update for 2.4.21

Hi,

Here are a number of USB bugfixes and updates against 2.4.21. This includes all of the pending USB patches that I had been holding during the 2.4.21-rc timeframe. They include 2 new USB drivers, USB 2.0 controller fixes, lots of usb-storage device additions, and other fixes and tweaks.

Please pull from: bk://kernel.bkbits.net/gregkh/linux/marcelo-2.4

The individual patches will be sent in follow up messages to this email to you and the linux-usb-devel mailing list.

thanks,

greg k-h
