Many cleanups for the UBD driver; these are mostly microfixes, I was waiting to finish and reorder also locking fixes (the code works, it is only to resplit, reproof-read and changelogs must be written) but I decided to send these ones for now. The rest will maybe be merged for 2.6.20. The only locking change is a conversion of a spinlock to a mutex, but it is correct anyway, and it has been tested (which is enough since it relates just to the setup/teardown path) with all debugging options active; I did boot-test and hotplug/hotunplug test. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
