This patch (as732) adds a usb_device_driver structure, for representing
drivers that manage an entire USB device as opposed to just an
interface. Support routines like usb_register_device_driver,
usb_deregister_device_driver, usb_probe_device, and usb_unbind_device
are also added.
Unlike an earlier version of this patch, the new code is type-safe. To
accomplish this, the existing struct driver embedded in struct
usb_driver had to be wrapped in an intermediate wrapper. This enables
the core to tell at runtime whether a particular struct driver belongs
to a device driver or to an interface driver.

This revised patch (as713b) moves a few routines among source files in
usbcore. Some driver-related code in usb.c (claiming interfaces and
matching IDs) is moved to driver.c, where it belongs. Also the
usb_generic stuff in driver.c is moved to a new source file: generic.c.
(That's the reason for revising the patch.) Although not very big now,
it will get bigger in a later patch.
None of the code has been changed; it has only been re-arranged.
