This small patch changes two drivers, adm1025 and adm1026, to
report vid as cpu0_vid sysfs name as used by the other drivers.
Added duplicated names and six month warning for old names to
be removed as requested. Compile tested.

The gpl exports need to be put back. Moving them to GPL -- but in a
measured manner, as I proposed on this list some months ago -- is fine.
Changing these particular exports precipitously is most definitely -not-
fine. Here is my earlier proposal:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110520930301813&w=2
See below for a patch that puts the exports back, along with an updated
version of my earlier patch that starts the process of moving them to GPL.
I will also be following this message with RFC patches that introduce two
(EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL) interfaces to replace synchronize_kernel(), which then
becomes deprecated.

These have been deprecated since ->compat_ioctl when in, thus only a short
deprecation period. There's four users left: i2o_config, s390/z90crypy,
s390/dasd and s390/zfcp and for the first two patches are about to be
submitted to get rid of it.

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!
