A nice feature of sysfs is that it can create the symlink from the
driver to the module that is contained in it.
It requires that the device_driver.owner is set, what is not the
case for many PCI drivers.
This patch allows pci_register_driver to set automatically the
device_driver.owner for any PCI driver.
Credits to Al Viro who suggested the method.

The dynamic pci id logic has been bothering me for a while, and now that
I started to look into how to move some of this to the driver core, I
thought it was time to clean it all up.
It ends up making the code smaller, and easier to follow, and fixes a
few bugs at the same time (dynamic ids were not being matched
everywhere, and so could be missed on some call paths for new devices,
semaphore not needed to be grabbed when adding a new id and calling the
driver core, etc.)
I also renamed the function pci_match_device() to pci_match_id() as
that's what it really does.

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!
