This patch adds USB capabilities to libpayload. It requires some
memalign implementation (eg. the one I sent yesterday).
Features:
 - UHCI controller driver
 - UHCI root hub driver
 - USB MSC (Mass Storage Class) driver
 - skeleton of a USB HID driver
   (requires better interrupt transfer handling, which is TODO)
 - skeleton of a USB hub driver
   (needs several blank spots filled in, eg. power management.
    Again: TODO)
OHCI and EHCI are not supported, though OHCI support should be rather
easy as the stack provides reasonable abstractions (or so I hope). EHCI
will probably be more complicated.
Isochronous transfers (eg. webcams, audio stuff, ...) are not supported.
They can be, but I doubt we'll have a reason for that in the boot
environment.
The MSC driver was tested against a couple of USB flash drives, and
should be reasonably tolerant by now. But I probably underestimate
the amount of bugs present in USB flash drives, so feedback is welcome.

- handle error conditions
 | 
			
		||||
- handle disconnect more gracefully (ie. make calling layer aware that the device doesn't exist somehow)
 | 
			
		||||
- usbhub:
 | 
			
		||||
  - proper client enumeration (esp. detach)
 | 
			
		||||
  - change detection
 | 
			
		||||
  - power management
 | 
			
		||||
- handle interrupts more cleverly:
 | 
			
		||||
  create a new queue for the interrupt with a couple of TD sequences,
 | 
			
		||||
    - each ending with "breadth first" flag
 | 
			
		||||
    - linked as a chain
 | 
			
		||||
  add that queue at the appropriate times in front of the default structure so the max latency is honored
 | 
			
		||||
    - only one intr chain per framelist item, so it must be arranged appropriately
 | 
			
		||||
  reads from usb device just look at "invalidated" tds and the results they got
 | 
			
		||||
  handled tds get reactivated as a ring structure
 | 
			
		||||
    - added as child of the oldest td
 | 
			
		||||
    - queue header already dropped the td, so no issue there
 | 
			
		||||
  
 | 
			
		||||
  this setup ensures that:
 | 
			
		||||
  - the max latency of the device is honored
 | 
			
		||||
  - the client knows the right order of the data
 | 
			
		||||
  - there is no need for an interrupt handler
 | 
			
		||||
    - but must be polled at least max latency * num tds times -> more tds = less time pressure
