f1c9e30b5e usbmon: Extended text API
This patch adds a new text API, codenamed '1u', which captures more URB
fields than old '1t' interface did. Also the '1u' text API is compatible
with the future "bus zero" extension.

6f23ee1fef USB: add binary API to usbmon
This patch adds a new, "binary" API in addition to the old, text API usbmon
had before. The new API allows for less CPU use, and it allows to capture
all data from a packet where old API only captured 32 bytes at most. There
are some limitations and conditions to this, e.g. in case someone constructs
a URB with 1GB of data, it's not likely to be captured, because even the
huge buffers of the new reader are finite. Nonetheless, I expect this new
capability to capture all data for all real life scenarios.

The downside is, a special user mode application is required where cat(1)
worked before. I have sample code at http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/
and Paolo Abeni is working on patching libpcap.

This patch was initially written by Paolo and later I tweaked it, and
we had a little back-and-forth. So this is a jointly authored patch, but
I am submitting this I am responsible for the bugs.

d9ac2cfc3a [PATCH] USB: update usbmon.txt
Fix up the documentation. Apparently, I left unedited copy-paste results
in examples. Also, Alan helped me to improve the most confusing parts.

003ba51535 [PATCH] USB: ub documentation update
The patch which went in was correct, but not quite what I had in mind.
Here is a patch to update that a little bit. Original patch is at:

ae0d6cceb2 [PATCH] USB: Patch to make usbmon to print control setup packets
Make usbmon to print Setup packets of Control transfers. This is useful
when debugging enumeration issues.

This is a change to the trace format which is not fully compatible.
A parser has to look at the data length word now. If that word is
a character like 's', read setup packet before proceeding with data.
I decided not to bump the API tag for this because not many such
parsers exist at this point.

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!
