2006-07-03	[PATCH] ieee1394: raw1394: remove redundant counting semaphore	Stefan Richter
	An already existing wait queue replaces raw1394's complete_sem which was maintained in parallel to the wait queue. The role of the semaphore's counter is taken over by a direct check of what was really counted: The presence of items in the list of completed requests. Notes: - raw1394_release() sleeps uninterruptibly until all requests were completed. This is the same behaviour as before the patch. - The macros wait_event and wait_event_interruptible are called with a condition argument which has a side effect, i.e. manipulation of the requests list. This side effect happens only if the condition is true. The patch relies on the fact that wait_event[_interruptible] does not evaluate the condition again after it became true. - The diffstat looks unfavorable with respect to added lines of code. However 19 of them are comments, and some are due to separation of existing code blocks into two small helper functions.

	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!
