ALSA: support module on-demand loading for seq and timer

If CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS is used, assign /dev/snd/seq and
/dev/snd/timer the usual static minors, and export specific
module aliases to generate udev module on-demand loading
instructions:

$ cat /lib/modules/2.6.33.4-smp/modules.devname
# Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
fuse fuse c10:229
ppp_generic ppp c108:0
tun net/tun c10:200
uinput uinput c10:223
dm_mod mapper/control c10:236
snd_timer snd/timer c116:33
snd_seq snd/seq c116:1

The last two lines instruct udev to create device nodes, even
when the modules are not loaded at that time.

As soon as userspace accesses any of these nodes, the in-kernel
module-loader will load the module, and the device can be used.

The header file minor calculation needed to be simplified to
make __stringify() (supports only two indirections) in
the MODULE_ALIAS macro work.

This is part of systemd's effort to get rid of unconditional
module load instructions and needless init scripts.

ALSA: Fix limit of 8 PCM devices in SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_PCM_NEXT_DEVICE

When compiled with CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS the ALSA core is fine
to have more than 8 PCM devices per card, except one place - the
SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_PCM_NEXT_DEVICE ioctl, which will not enumerate
devices > 7. This patch fixes the issue, changing the devices list
organisation.

Instead of adding new device to the tail, the list is now kept always
ordered (by card number, then device number). Thus, during enumeration,
it is easy to discover the fact that there is no more given card's
devices.

Additionally the device field of struct snd_pcm had to be changed to int,
as its "unsignednity" caused a lot of problems when comparing it to
potentially negative signed values. (-1 is 0xffffffff or even more then ;-)

Instead of adding new device to the tail, the list is now kept always
ordered (by card number, then device number). Thus, during enumeration,
it is easy to discover the fact that there is no more given card's
devices. The same limit was present in OSS emulation code. It has
been fixed as well.

Additionally the device field of struct snd_pcm is now int, instead of
unsigned int, as there is no obvious reason for keeping it unsigned.
This caused a lot of problems with comparing this value with other
(almost always signed) variables. There is just one more place where
device number is unsigned - in struct snd_pcm_info, which should be
also sorted out in future.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

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!
