PNP driver changes for 2.5.43

Here's a changeset from Adam Belay that reworks the PNP driver layer. I've tested this out on my machines and seems to work well. It also nicely integrates the pnp devices into driverfs.

I took his patch and put it into a bk repository, handling the file renames that his original patch did.

Please pull from: bk://linuxusb.bkbits.net/pnp-2.5

thanks,

[PATCH] PnP Rewrite V0.9 - 2.5.43

The included patch is essentially a Linux Plug and Play Support rewrite. It contains many significant improvements, including the following:

1.) A Global Plug and Play Layer
- Now drivers do not have to worry about which plug and play protocol they are using. Calls are made directly to the Linux Plug and Play Layer and then forwarded to the appropriate protocol.
- This will make it very easy to integrate ACPI PnP support when it's ready

2.) A complete Plug and Play BIOS driver
- The Plug and Play BIOS now supports reading and writing of resource configurations.
- It is now possible to enable disabled PNPBIOS devices. Therefore the user can safely enable PnP OS support in their BIOS.

3.) Driver Model Integration
- The entire plug and play layer is integrated into the driver model
- The user interface is housed here
- PnP protocols are listed under the bus "pnp"

4.) A powerful global resource configuration interface
- The user can use this to activate PnP devices for legacy and user-level drivers
- See the documentation for how to configure devices.

5.) Automatic resource allocation for needed devices

6.) A PnP device name database

And many more improvements.

This patch also adds me to the maintainers list, considering the current PnP maintainer has been inactive for over 2 years now.

As this patch is pretty big, instead of sending it to the list, I put it at:
