This patch causes vcc_release_async to be applied to any open
vcc's when the modem is disconnected. This signals a socket
shutdown, letting the socket user know that the game is up.
I wrote this patch because of reports that pppd would keep
connections open forever when the modem is disconnected.
This patch does not fix that problem, but it's a step in the
right direction. It doesn't help because the pppoatm module
doesn't yet monitor state changes on the ATM socket, so simply
never realises that the ATM connection has gone down (meaning
it doesn't tell the ppp layer). But at least there is a socket
state change now. Unfortunately this patch may create problems
for those rare users like me who use routed IP or some other
non-ppp connection method that goes via the ATM ARP daemon: the
daemon is buggy, and with this patch will crash when the modem
is disconnected. Users with a buggy atmarpd can simply restart
it after disconnecting the modem.

Have minidrivers and the core signal special requirements
using a flags field in struct usbatm_data. For the moment
this is only used to replace the need_heavy_init bind
parameter, but there'll be new flags in later patches.

This lets us remove a lot of code in the drivers that were all checking
the same thing. It also found some bugs in a few of the drivers, which
has been fixed up.

Rework the core usbatm code: minidrivers (i.e. drivers for particular
modems) now register themselves with the usbatm core, supplying methods
for binding/unbinding etc. The design was inspired by usb-serial and
usbnet. At the same time, more common code from the speedtch and
cxacru (patch 3/5) drivers was generalized and moved into the core. The
transmission and reception parts have been unified and simplified. Since
this is a major change and I don't like underscores in file names,
usb_atm.[ch] has been renamed usbatm.[ch].
Many thanks to Roman Kagan, who did a lot of the coding.
