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...
