Currently the sequencer module binding is performed independently from
the card module itself. The reason behind it is to keep the sequencer
stuff optional and allow the system running without it (e.g. for using
PCM or rawmidi only). This works in most cases, but a remaining
problem is that the binding isn't done automatically when a new driver
module is probed. Typically this becomes visible when a hotplug
driver like usb audio is used.
This patch tries to address this and other potential issues. First,
the seq-binder (seq_device.c) tries to load a missing driver module at
creating a new device object. This is done asynchronously in a workq
for avoiding the deadlock (modprobe call in module init path).
This action, however, should be enabled only when the sequencer stuff
was already initialized, i.e. snd-seq module was already loaded. For
that, a new function, snd_seq_autoload_init() is introduced here; this
clears the blocking of autoloading, and also tries to load all pending
driver modules.

All users of snd_seq_create_kernel_client() have to set the client name
anyway, so we can just pass the name as parameter. This relieves us
from having to muck around with a struct snd_seq_client_info in these
cases.

The fields of struct snd_seq_client_callback either aren't used or are
always set to the same value, so we can get rid of it altogether.

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!
