Subject: [PATCH 0/6] [RESEND] VME framework fixes

Hey Martyn,

This is the resend of the patches with the recommended fixes. Some notes
on the various patches:

  staging: vme: allow explicit assignment of bus numbers

I have left this as it is with a simple array of numbers. I think we should
apply this for now and work on the UUID method separately as this solves a
major issue in a relatively decent way.

  staging: vme: make [alloc|free]_consistent bridge specific

Added the bridge names to the prink's.

  staging: vme: add functions for bridge module refcounting

I have added calls in probe and remove to automatically refcount the devices
that are probed. I have left symbol exports for the refcounting functions if
any drivers want to use them in some unforseen way.

  staging: vme: add struct vme_dev for VME devices
  staging: vme: make match() driver specific to improve non-VME64x
    support

Fixes based on the changes introduced before. Note that I have removed the
patch with the rename of the vme_slot_get function. Also removed the
kzalloc patch as it can be applied from the previous send.

Another note: I have not added the documentation yet. Based on the changes
that are approved, I will write it up today and send it in :)

Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks!
