A Christoph suggested that the /proc/devices file be converted to use the
seq_file interface. This patch does that.
I've obxerved one or two installation that had sufficiently large sans that
they overran the 4k limit on /proc/devices.

While fixing an oops in the st driver in a dirty release path, I
encountered an oops in cdev_put for cdevs allocated using cdev_alloc. If
cdev_del is called when the cdev kobject still has an open user, when the
last cdev_put is called, the cdev_put will call kobject_put, which will end
up ultimately releasing the cdev in cdev_dynamic_release. Patch fixes the
oops by preventing cdev_put from accessing freed memory.

This up() should be down() instead.

bytes of string data are generated from all the registered character and
block devices in a system

This patch makes some needlessly global identifiers static.

This reverts a fs/char_dev.c patch that was merged into BK on March 3.
The problem is that it breaks things ... __register_chrdev_region() has
a block of code, commented "temporary" for over two years now, which
fails rudely during PCMCIA initialization or other register_chrdev()
calls, because it doesn't "degrade to linked list". This keeps whole
subsystems from working.
A real fix to that "temporary" code should be possible, using some better
scheme to allocate major numbers, but it's not something I want to spend
time on just now.

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!
