Remove TTY_DONT_FLIP tty flag. This flag was introduced in 2.1.X kernels
to prevent the N_TTY line discipline functions read_chan() and
n_tty_receive_buf() from running at the same time. 2.2.15 introduced
tty->read_lock to protect access to the N_TTY read buffer, which is the
only state requiring protection between these two functions.
The current TTY_DONT_FLIP implementation is broken for SMP, and is not
universally honored by drivers that send data directly to the line
discipline receive_buf function.
Because TTY_DONT_FLIP is not necessary, is broken in implementation, and is
not universally honored, it is removed.

I'm going to throw schedule_work away, it's retarded. But for starters,
let's have it encapsulated.
Also, generic and whiteheat were both calling usb_serial_port_softint
and scheduled work. Only one was necessary.

This lets drivers, like the usb-serial ones, disable the ability to add
ids from sysfs.
The usb-serial drivers are "odd" in that they are really usb-serial bus
drivers, not usb bus drivers, so the dynamic id logic will have to go
into the usb-serial bus core for those drivers to get that ability.

This fixes up a lot of problems in sysfs with some of the usb serial
drivers, they had incorrect driver names. Also saves a tiny ammount
of memory.

I'm tired of trying to explain why a "device_type" is really a driver.
This better describes exactly what this structure is.

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!
