USB: add support for Motorola ROKR Z6 cellphone in mass storage mode
Motorola ROKR Z6 cellphone has bugs in its USB, so it is impossible to use
it as mass storage. Patch describes new "unusual" USB device for it with
FIX_INQUIRY and FIX_CAPACITY flags and new BULK_IGNORE_TAG flag.
Last flag relaxes check for equality of bcs->Tag and us->tag in
usb_stor_Bulk_transport routine.

USB: pl2303: another product ID
Device like this http://aldiga.com/english/A-100-USB-EDGE10.htm
contains Prolific 2303 chip.
Actually their site a bit outdated - I have AlDiga AL-11U
GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem and it works with pl2303 module after adding
corresponding product ID.
By default modem uses baud rate 460800. GSM chipset - SIMCom SIM600,

USB: new quirk flag to avoid Set-Interface
This patch (as1057) fixes a problem with the X-Rite/Gretag-Macbeth
Eye-One Pro display colorimeter; the device crashes when it receives a
Set-Interface request. A new quirk (USB_QUIRK_NO_SET_INTF) is
introduced and a quirks entry is created for this device.

USB: fix gadgetfs class request delegation

sata_promise: fix hardreset hotplug events, take 2
A Promise SATA controller will signal hotplug events when a hard
reset (COMRESET) is done on a port. These events aren't masked by
the driver, and the unexpected interrupts will cause a sequence
of failed reset attempts util libata's EH finally gives up.
This has not been a common problem so far, but the pending libata
hardreset-by-default changes makes it a critical issue.
The solution is to disable hotplug events before a reset, and to
reenable them afterwards. (Promise's driver does this too.)
This patch adds SATA-specific versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw()
that also disable and enable hotplug events. PATA ports continue
to use the old versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw().
Accesses to the hotplug register must be serialised via host->lock.
We rely on ap->lock == &ap->host->lock and that libata takes this
lock before ->freeze() and ->thaw(). Document this requirement.
The interrupt handler is adjusted so its hotplug register accesses
are inside the region protected by host->lock.
Tested on various chips (SATA300TX4, SATA300TX2plus, SATAII150TX4,
FastTrack TX4000) with various combinations of SATA and PATA disks,
with and without the pending hardreset-by-default changes.

Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensible
The printk() logic on when/how to get the console semaphore was
unreadable, this splits the code up into a few helper functions and
makes it easier to follow what is going on.
