With dynamic minor numbers, we can increase the number of sound cards.
This requires that the sequencer client numbers of some kernel drivers
are allocated dynamically, too.

Instead of storing the pointers to the device-specific structures in an
array, put them into the struct snd_minor, and look them up dynamically.
This makes the device type modules independent of the minor number
encoding.

Store the snd_minor structure pointers in one array instead of using a
separate list for each card. This simplifies the mapping from device
files to minor struct by removing the need to know about the encoding
of the card number in the minor number.

Instead of a comment string, store the device type in the snd_minor
structure. This makes snd_minor more flexible, and has the nice side
effect that we don't need anymore to create a separate snd_minor
template for registering a device but can pass the file_operations
directly to snd_register_device().

Add register_sound_special_device() function to allow assignment of
device pointer to a specific OSS device for HAL.

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!
