Another week, another -rc.

This time the diffstat is almost totally dominated by the addition of the 
musb driver that drives the MUSB and TUSB controllers integrated into 
omap2430 and davinci. That, together with the removal of the auerswald USB 
driver (replaced by libusb version) is more than half of the bulk of the 
patch, and obviously most users won't ever notice.

Apart from those bulky USB updates, there's some arch updates (blackfin 
and ia64), network and input driver updates, and an XFS and UBIFS update. 
The rest is mostly random stuff all over, probably best described by the 
appended shortlog. A number of regressions should be off the table, but 
more remain...
