Pete Zaitcev 6f23ee1fef USB: add binary API to usbmon
This patch adds a new, "binary" API in addition to the old, text API usbmon
had before. The new API allows for less CPU use, and it allows to capture
all data from a packet where old API only captured 32 bytes at most. There
are some limitations and conditions to this, e.g. in case someone constructs
a URB with 1GB of data, it's not likely to be captured, because even the
huge buffers of the new reader are finite. Nonetheless, I expect this new
capability to capture all data for all real life scenarios.

The downside is, a special user mode application is required where cat(1)
worked before. I have sample code at http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/
and Paolo Abeni is working on patching libpcap.

This patch was initially written by Paolo and later I tweaked it, and
we had a little back-and-forth. So this is a jointly authored patch, but
I am submitting this I am responsible for the bugs.
