Previously, VME bridge support was treated as any other driver (using
module_init() macro), but if VME bridge and vme_user (staging) drivers
were compiled into the kernel, then vme_user would attempt to register
itself before the VME core support had been loaded. This would result
in a kernel panic.
The load order of these built-in drivers is based on the order in which
drivers/staging/vme and driver/vme are compiled.
This patch changes the VME core driver to use the subsys_initcall()
macro which ensures that it is loaded before all other VME drivers
regardless of the order in which they are compiled.

Traditionally the "get" functions increment the reference count of the
object that is returned, which does not happen with vme_slot_get. The
function vme_slot_get returns the physical VME slot associated with a
particular struct vme_dev. Rename vme_slot_num to avoid any confusion.

The match function for vme_user is completely wrong. It will blindly bind
against the first VME slot on each bus (at this point that would be just the
first bus as the driver can only handle one bus).
The original intention (before some major subsystem changes) was that the
driver bind against the slot to which the bridge was attached in the VME
system and to the bus(es) provided via the "bus" module parameter.
To do this cleanly (i.e. without poking arround in the subsystems internal
stuctures) a functionality has been added to provide access to the bus
enumeration.

There is a memory leak in the function vme_dma_free(). The resource
structure allocated in vme_dma_request() needs to be free'd in
vme_dma_free().

put_device() must be called after device_register() fails,
since device_register() always initializes the refcount
on the device structure.

This moves the VME core, VME board drivers, and VME bridge drivers out
of the drivers/staging/vme/ area to drivers/vme/.
The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API questions
they are still working through, that should happen soon, hopefully.
