The flattened device tree is the only supported way of booting ARCH=powerpc
kernels on non Open Firmware machines. The documentation for the flattened
tree format and contents has been discussed on mailing lists and lately has
been living in the dtc git tree. Really, it ought to go in the kernel's
Documentation directory for maximum visibility.Signed-off-by: David Gibson

Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling
real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports
the state to userspace and generates events.Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers

The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:
- Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
- Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
- Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
- Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
- Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

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!
