USB: add USB-Persist facility

Browse Source 
This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility,
allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system
suspend.

The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate
warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the
behavior will remain the same as it is now.  But when the option is
on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB
filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small
machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!

Q: I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16. Both kernels were
compiled with the similar configuration files. Anyway I found that
suspend to disk (and resume) is much slower on 2.6.16 compared to
