Big dump of newer xpp code.

For finer details and separate commits, you are advised to look into the
commit log of dahdi-{linux,tools}.

xpp.r7150

* 116x Astribanks:
 - Support for the TwinStar capability and for FXO and (BRI|PRI) on
   same device.
 - New control protocol ("MPP").
 - astribank_hextool - a low-level firmware loading tool instead of
   fpga_load .
 - astribank_tool - Other MPP activities .
 - Can still reset (but just that) through older protocol.
 - astribank_hexload is required for loading FPGA firmware for USB_FW.hex 
   rev > 6885.
 - USB_FW rev. 7071 . 
 - More modular FPGA firmware (1161 only).
 - FPGA_1161.hex rev. 7131. PIC_TYPE_* rev. 7107.
 - software-settings of some capabilities with astribank_allow .

* XPP:
  - init_card_* script are less verbose.
  - Reduced rate of "Is a DAHDI sync master" message.
  - Replace member bus_id with dev_name() and set_dev_name() for
    building with 2.6.30.
  - Conditionally remove 'owner' property of procfs was dropped in 2.6.30.
  - astribank_hook now enabled by default.
  - Has an optional hook for TwinStar.

* BRI:
  - hardhdlc support: The bri_dchan patch is no longer needed.
  - If bri_dchan patch applied: old code is used, and "dchan" is used.
  - If not: new code and "hardhdlc" is used.
  - zapconf will generate the right configuration, depending on the new
    sysfs driver attribute bri_hardhdlc, but default to "dchan" as
    before if not explicitly told.
  - Bugfix: explicitly turn off leds on startup.

* FXS:
  - Initialization and calibration fixes.
  - Notify the user just one about wrong VMWI config

* Dahdi-perl:
  - Fix detection of empty slots in wctdm.
  - Fix working with ethmf's extra file in /proc/zaptel
  - Improved detection of Rhino cards.
  - dahdi_genconf's generated text better explains files are generated.
  - /etc/xpp_order - allow specifiying an explicit order for
    Astribanks to register with Zaptel.
  - Dahdi::Xpp::Mpp - A wrapper around astribank_tool .

* dahdi.init:
  - A separate waitfor_xpds script. May now have a wait-loop in
    some cases.
  - xpp_sync needs to only be called after dahdi_cfg .
    (for the PRI module).

+.SH NAME
+astribank_tool \- Xorcom Astribank (xpp) control tool
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B astribank_tool -D \fIdevice-path\fR [ options ]
+
+.B astribank_tool [-h]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B astribank_tool
+is a tool to control the USB-level functionality of an Astribank.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.B -D 
+.I device-path
+.RS
+Required. The device to read from/write to. On modern UDEV-based system
+this is usually /dev/bus/usb/\fIbus_num\fR/\fIdevice_num\fR,
+where \fIbus_num\fR and \fIdevice_num\fR are the first two numbers in the
+output of lsusb(8).
+On older systems that use usbfs, it is usually
+/proc/bus/usb/\fIbus_num\fR/\fIdevice_num\fR.
+.RE
+
+.B -p \fInum\fR
+.RS
+Set the TwinStar port number. Either 0 or 1.
+
+(TODO: explain).
+.RE
+
+.B -r \fItype\fR
+.RS
+Reset the Astribank and renumerate its USB connection to power on product ID.
+
+Tyep can be: \fBhalf\fR or \fBfull\fR.
+
+(TODO: explain those).
+.RE
+
+.B -w 0|1
+.RS
+Enable (1) or disable (0) the TwinStar watchdog. When enabled, the
+Astribank will jump to the second port if this system is "not working"
+and the system on the second port is available.
+.RE
+
+.B -n
+.RS
+Renumerate the Astribank product number (e.g: from 1161 to 1162).
+.RE
+
+.B -v
+.RS
+Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.
+.RE
+
+.B -d \fImask\fR
+.RS
+Set debug mask to \fImask\fR. Default is 0, 0xFF is "everything".
+.RE
+
+.B -h
+.RS
+Displays usage message.
