into the FreeBSD boot loader, typically for non-USB aware BIOSes, EFI systems
or embedded platforms. This is also useful for out of the system compilation
of the FreeBSD USB stack for various purposes. The USB kernel files can
now optionally include a global header file which should include all needed
definitions required to compile the FreeBSD USB stack. When the global USB
header file is included, no other USB header files will be included by
default.
Add new file containing the USB stack configuration for the
FreeBSD loader build.
Replace some __FBSDID()'s by /* $FreeBSD$ */ comments. Now all
USB files follow the same style.
Use cases:
- console in loader via USB
- loading kernel via USB

in SUPER-speed mode, USB 3.0.
This feature has not been tested yet, due to lack of hardware.
This feature is useful when implementing protocols like UASP,
USB attached SCSI which promises higher USB mass storage throughput.
This patch also implements support for hardware processing of endpoints
for increased performance. The switching to hardware processing
of an endpoint is done via a callback to the USB controller driver. The
stream feature is implemented like a variant of a hardware USB protocol.
USB controller drivers implementing device mode needs to be updated to
implement the new "xfer_stall" USB controller method and remove the
"xfer" argument from the "set_stall" method.
The API's toward existing USB drivers are preserved. To setup a USB transfer
in stream mode, set the "stream_id" field of the USB config structure to
the desired value.
The maximum number of BULK streams is currently hardcoded and limited to 8
via a define in usb_freebsd.h.
All USB drivers should be re-compiled after this change.
LibUSB will be updated next week to support streams mode. A new IOCTL to
setup BULK streams as already been implemented. The ugen device nodes
currently only supports stream ID zero.
The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

- This patch also makes the line status polling asynchronous, to reduce
the time needed to change the GPIO pins.

the devfs clone handler to open the (invisible) devices on the fly.
The /dev entries are layed out as follows,
/dev/usbctl = master device
/dev/usb/0.1.0.5 = usb device, (<bus>.<dev>.<iface>.<endpoint>)
/dev/ugen0.1 -> usb/0.1.0.0 = ugen link to ctrl endpoint
This also removes the custom permissions model from USB. Bump
__FreeBSD_version to 800066.
