There are three types of messages between w1 core and userspace:
1. Events. They are generated each time new master or slave device found
either due to automatic or requested search.
2. Userspace commands. Includes read/write and search/alarm search comamnds.
3. Replies to userspace commands.

Special file in each w1 slave device's directory called "rw" is created
each time new slave and no appropriate w1 family is registered.
"rw" file supports read and write operations, which allows to perform
almost any kind of operations. Each logical operation is a transaction
in nature, which can contain several (two or one) low-level operations.
Let's see how one can read EEPROM context:
1. one must write control buffer, i.e. buffer containing command byte
and two byte address. At this step bus is reset and appropriate device
is selected using either W1_SKIP_ROM or W1_MATCH_ROM command.
Then provided control buffer is being written to the wire.
2. reading. This will issue reading eeprom response.
It is possible that between 1. and 2. w1 master thread will reset bus for
searching and slave device will be even removed, but in this case 0xff will
be read, since no device was selected.

This patch removes old-style kernel thread initialization
and changes w1 to use kthread api.
It is based on Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> work.

This patch contains the following cleanups:
- make needlessly global code static
- declarations for global code belong into header files
- w1.c: #if 0 the unused struct w1_slave_device

I've created reconnect feature - if on start there are no registered families
all new devices will have defailt family, later when driver for appropriate
family is loaded, slaves, which were faound earlier, will still have defult
family instead of right one. Reconnect feature will force control thread to run
through all master devices and all slaves found and search for slaves with
default family id and try to reconnect them.
It does not store newly registered family and does not check only those slaves
which have reg_num.family the same as being registered one - all slaves with
default family are reconnected.

Adds a sysfs entry (w1_master_search) that allows you to disable/enable
periodic searches.

Removed some fields which are not required.
First step for writing operations.
Now only read and read name remain.
Patch depends on w1 cleanups patch.

- white space changes.
- list_for_each_entry/list_for_each_entry_safe and reverse changes.
- small coding style changes.
- removed redundant NULL checks.
- use attribute group and macros instead of direct device attributes.
Patch is havily based on work from Adrian Bunk and Dmitry Torokhov,
thanks guys.

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!
