The unit in which user-space can set the bus timeout value is jiffies
for historical reasons (back when HZ was always 100.) This is however
not good because user-space doesn't know how long a jiffy lasts. The
timeout value should instead be set in a fixed time unit. Given the
original value of HZ, this unit should be 10 ms, for compatibility.

Move the i2c-dev support into <linux/i2c-dev.h> where it should always
have lived. Now <linux/i2c.h> no longer holds stuff related to the
optional userspace /dev/i2c-X interface. Improve the descriptions
for these ioctl requests.

CVS revision IDs are totally useless and irrelevant by now.

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!
