In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device. Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used. These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

There is no such thing as a "device name size" in the driver core, so
remove the define and fix up any users of this odd define in the rest of
the kernel.Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers

This is a change for the EISA bus support to permit drivers to call
un/registration functions even if EISA support has not been enabled. This is
similar to what PCI (and now TC) does and reduces the need for #ifdef clutter.Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki

Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and
(at least some) EISA-aware modules.The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC):
eisa:sTCM5093
and the in-module alias like:
eisa:sTCM5093*
The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
maps are obsolete anyway.The rationale for this patch is:
a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
support, to unify driver loadingb) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
(who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)[akpm@osdl.org: fix the kbuild bit]

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!
