Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2

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!

+/**
+ * System devices follow a slightly different driver model. 
+ * They don't need to do dynammic driver binding, can't be probed, 
+ * and don't reside on any type of peripheral bus. 
+ * So, we represent and treat them a little differently.
+ * 
+ * We still have a notion of a driver for a system device, because we still
+ * want to perform basic operations on these devices. 
+ *
+ * We also support auxillary drivers binding to devices of a certain class.
+ * 
+ * This allows configurable drivers to register themselves for devices of
+ * a certain type. And, it allows class definitions to reside in generic
+ * code while arch-specific code can register specific drivers.
+ *
+ * Auxillary drivers registered with a NULL cls are registered as drivers
+ * for all system devices, and get notification calls for each device.
