[PATCH 00/28] staging: unisys: fix visorbus & visorinput issues raised by tglx

[David Kershner]

This patchset comprises the first 26 patches of the previously-submitted
patchset (but retracted): 

	[PATCH v4 00/29] Fixed issues raised by tglx, then move visorbus to
			 drivers/virt

then adds 2 patches to visorinput that:
	* fixes a device initialization race condition
	* converts a semaphore to a mutex

As described in the email NAKing the previously-submitted patchset,
the reason we are re-submitting this now is to make things a bit
cleaner by separating the fixes we need to make to the code in
staging from the patchset that actually moves the code out of staging.

The intent of this patchset is to fix all known outstanding
issues with code in drivers/staging/unisys/, so that subsequent
patchsets can move these drivers out of staging.

tglx: The following patchset fixes issues you raised during your
code review of visorbus on 5/18, and visorinput on 6/1. 

Converts visorbus to use a kernel timer for periodic device-specific
callbacks instead of a workqueue, making the implementation in
periodic_work.c and periodic_work.h no longer necessary.  These files
are then deleted.

The visordriver_callback_lock has been switched to a mutex.

Several module parameters and structures were removed that were no
longer being used.
