53c165e0a6 [SCSI] correct attribute_container list usage
One of the changes in the attribute_container code in the scsi-misc tree
was to add a lock to protect the list of devices per container.  This,
unfortunately, leads to potential scheduling while atomic problems if
there's a sleep in the function called by a trigger.

The correct solution is to use the kernel klist infrastructure instead
which allows lockless traversal of a list.

caca177987 [SCSI] add missing attribute container function prototype
attribute_container_classdev_to_container is an exported function of the
attribute_container.c file.  However, there's no prototype for it.  Now
I actually want to use it, so add one.

d0a7e57400 [SCSI] correct transport class abstraction to work outside SCSI
I recently tried to construct a totally generic transport class and
found there were certain features missing from the current abstract
transport class.  Most notable is that you have to hang the data on the
class_device but most of the API is framed in terms of the generic
device, not the class_device.

These changes are two fold

- Provide the class_device to all of the setup and configure APIs
- Provide and extra API to take the device and the attribute class and
  return the corresponding class_device

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!
