What's in linux1394-2.6.git?

[Stefan Richter]

Well, nothing big.  First of all, what's _not_ in linux1394-2.6.git:  DV
reception is still broken in drivers/firewire/ on OHCI 1.0 variants of
VIA VT630x.  IP over 1394 is still not ported from drivers/ieee1394/ to
drivers/firewire/.  Both issues are held up by of lack of manpower.

These and a bunch of other miscellaneous issues with drivers/firewire/
still keep them labeled EXPERIMENTAL for the time to come, even though
we made some good progress with what went in for 2.6.25. Before
distributors consider to switch from the ieee1394 subsystem to the
firewire subsystem, they should have a good look at the ToDo and
migration pages at wiki.linux1394.org.

Now, what do we actually have for 2.6.26:

  - raw1394, video1394, dv1394:  [improvement]  These drivers are no
    longer bound to unit directory devices. This has always been
    unnecessary and got in the way of more specialized out-of-tree
    drivers.
  - firewire-core:  [fix]  Recognize changes in the configuration ROM of
    devices while they are plugged in.
  - firewire-ohci:  [feature]  Logging of various events can be enabled
    at runtime by a module parameter.  This helps debugging the drivers
    as well as devices.
  - firewire-ohci:  [feature]  Unfiltered remote DMA can be enabled at
    compile time via a new option in the kernel hacking menu.  This
    enables remote debugging as with ohci1394.
  - all:  A bunch of bug fixes which seemed to fit into .26 better than
    into .25.  Small cleanups.

Almost all patches have been seen on LKML (and all on linux1394-devel),
hence I don't repost them this time.  They have all been exposed to -mm
and to -next.  In the latter, linux1394-2.6.git is still involved in a
trivial merge conflict due to the kernel hacking menu entry.

Still pending work:  My firewire-core reference counting changes had two
comments from Kristian which I will address in an incremental update;
perhaps I manage to do this in time for the merge.  Also, Pieter
Palmer's iso transmit patch for the ieee1394 stack may perhaps be ready
then.
