Here is the first patch to cleanup the internal processing of the
various stages of an udev event. It should not change any behavior,
but if your system depends on udev, please always test it before reboot :)
We pass only one generic structure around between add, remove,
namedev, db and dev_d handling and make all relevant data available
to all internal stages. All udev structures are renamed to "udev".
We replace the fake parameter by a flag in the udev structure.
We open the class device in the main binaries and not in udev_add, to
make it possible to use libsysfs for udevstart directory crawling.
The last sleep parameters are removed.

Here we remove all the sysfs sleep loops from udev as wait_for_sysfs
will do this for us and any other hotplug user. We still keep a small
blacklist of subsystems we don't care about but any missing entry here
will no longer lead to a spinning udev waiting for files.

Here is the patch, that should prevent all of the known deadlocks with
corrupt tdb databases we discovered.
Thanks to Frank Steiner <fsteiner-mail@bio.ifi.lmu.de>, who tested all this
endlessly with a NFS mounted /dev. The conclusion is, that udev will not work
on filesystems without proper record locking, but we should prevent the
endless loops anyway. This patch implements:
o recovery from a corrupted udev database. udev will continue
without database support now, instead of doing nothing. So the node should
be generated in any case, remove will obviously not work for custom names.
o added iteration limits to the tdb-code at the places we discovered endless
loops. In the case tdb tries to find more than 100.000 entries with the
same hash, we better give up :)
o prevent a {all_partitions} loop caused by corrupt db data
o log all tdb errors to syslog
o switch sleep() to usleep() cause we want to use alarm()

We should be consistent in our madness...
