312c004d36 [PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"
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.

6e3eaab020 [PATCH] modified firmware_class.c to support no hotplug
Upgrade the request_firmware_nowait function to not start the hotplug
action on a firmware update.

This patch is tested along with dell_rbu driver on i386 and x86-64 systems.

b92eac01c3 [PATCH] request_firmware(): avoid race conditions
Avoid race occurs when some process have open file descriptor for class
device attributes and already firmware allocated memory are freed.  Don't
allow negative loading timeout.

Here we add a TIMEOUT value to the hotplug environment of the firmware
requesting event. I will adapt udevd not to wait for anything else, if
it finds a TIMEOUT key.

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!
