[PATCH] USB: add ldusb driver

The following driver provides complete interrupt-in and interrupt-out
reports (raw data) to a user program. Until now it uses the
HIDIOCGDEVINFO ioctl call, because I don't know better :-(. Perhaps, it
will be ok for you - and I will be happy, if you assign 8 minor numbers.

I have tested it in several environments and it works very well for me.
However, it has a problem with two or more devices at the same hub, if
the two or more devices need 1 ms interrupt-in transfers. Unfortunately
more than one interrupt-in transfer every ms isn't possible (ehci
driver?). This is why the min_interrupt_in_interval and
min_interrupt_out_interval are increased to 2 ms (see the corresponding
module parameters). This way, I can use two devices simultaneously at
the same hub.

+ * Generic USB driver for report based interrupt in/out devices
+ * like LD Didactic's USB devices. LD Didactic's USB devices are
+ * HID devices which do not use HID report definitons (they use
+ * raw interrupt in and our reports only for communication).
+ *
+ * This driver uses a ring buffer for time critical reading of
+ * interrupt in reports and provides read and write methods for
+ * raw interrupt reports (similar to the Windows HID driver).
+ * Devices based on the book USB COMPLETE by Jan Axelson may need
+ * such a compatibility to the Windows HID driver.
