I was recently given an old Travan tape drive and asked to do something
useful with it. The ide-scsi + st (+serverworks ide controller) combo
results in a hard lockup of the machine which I have not had the energy to
debug, so I turned to ide-tape (which seems to work). The system in
question debian stable, using udev to manage /dev.
The following patch to ide-tape.c allows udev to create the cdev nodes for
my drive.

Uses msleep() instead of schedule_timeout() to guarantee
the task delays at least the desired time amount.

* add ide_bus_match() and export ide_bus_type
* split ide_remove_driver_from_hwgroup() out of ide_unregister()
* move device cleanup from ide_unregister() to drive_release_dev()
* convert ide_driver_t->name to driver->name
* convert ide_driver_t->{attach,cleanup} to driver->{probe,remove}
* remove ide_driver_t->busy as ide_bus_type->subsys.rwsem
protects against concurrent ->{probe,remove} calls
* make ide_{un}register_driver() void as it cannot fail now
* use driver_{un}register() directly, remove ide_{un}register_driver()
* use device_register() instead of ata_attach(), remove ata_attach()
* add proc_print_driver() and ide_drivers_show(), remove ide_drivers_op
* fix ide_replace_subdriver() and move it to ide-proc.c
* remove ide_driver_t->drives, ide_drives and drives_lock
* remove ide_driver_t->drivers, drivers and drivers_lock

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!
