Mauro Carvalho Chehab ecefae6db0 docs: usb: rename files to .rst and add them to drivers-api 
While there are a mix of things here, most of the stuff
were written from Kernel developer's PoV. So, add them to
the driver-api book.

A follow up for this patch would be to move documents from
there that are specific to sysadmins, adding them to the
admin-guide.

USB/IP protocol
===============
PRELIMINARY DRAFT, MAY CONTAIN MISTAKES!
28 Jun 2011
The USB/IP protocol follows a server/client architecture. The server exports the
USB devices and the clients imports them. The device driver for the exported
USB device runs on the client machine.
The client may ask for the list of the exported USB devices. To get the list the
client opens a TCP/IP connection towards the server, and sends an OP_REQ_DEVLIST
packet on top of the TCP/IP connection (so the actual OP_REQ_DEVLIST may be sent
in one or more pieces at the low level transport layer). The server sends back
the OP_REP_DEVLIST packet which lists the exported USB devices. Finally the
TCP/IP connection is closed.
::

(imports USB devices) (exports USB devices)
| |
| OP_REQ_DEVLIST |
| ----------------------------------------------> |
| |
| OP_REP_DEVLIST |
| <---------------------------------------------- |
| |
Once the client knows the list of exported USB devices it may decide to use one
of them. First the client opens a TCP/IP connection towards the server and
sends an OP_REQ_IMPORT packet. The server replies with OP_REP_IMPORT. If the
import was successful the TCP/IP connection remains open and will be used
to transfer the URB traffic between the client and the server. The client may
send two types of packets: the USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT to submit an URB, and
USBIP_CMD_UNLINK to unlink a previously submitted URB. The answers of the
server may be USBIP_RET_SUBMIT and USBIP_RET_UNLINK respectively.
