The jsm driver uses a static number of 253. The major number 253 is a
reserved for "LOCAL/EXPERIMENTAL USE" by both char and block devices. So
take advantage of the dynamic allocation of major number by the kernel.

Another large rollup of various patches from Adrian which make things static
where they were needlessly exported.

- plug various leaks and use after frees in the remove and
initialization failure path (some still left)
- remove useless global list of boards and use pci_set_drvdata instead
- unobsfucate init path by merging functions together
- kill various totally useless state variables
- .. probably more I forgot
Note that the tty part still generates lots of sparse warnings and there's
still a totally useless layer of function pointer indirections, but maybe
someone else will fix that bit up.

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!
