We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft

This adds a clause that notes explicitly that the person doing the
sign-off knows that the project (and his sign-off) is public and will
possibly get archived and re-distributed.

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!
