usbip: move usbip_protocol.txt to Documentation
The usbip_protocol.txt, a document which describes usbip's inner workings is currently located in the projects source directory (drivers/usb/usbip/...). This patch moves it to Documentation/usb. This discussion was brought up by Guy Harris [0] during the review of the USBIP dissector I wrote. For anyone interested: support is available with the latest wireshark master/dev tree. Simply select a packet from the usbip's tcp-stream you are intrested on and select the USBIP as the protocol in the "Decode As" dialog box [1].

-PRELIMINARY DRAFT, MAY CONTAIN MISTAKES!
-28 Jun 2011
-
-The USB/IP protocol follows a server/client architecture. The server exports the
-USB devices and the clients imports them. The device driver for the exported
-USB device runs on the client machine.
-
-The client may ask for the list of the exported USB devices. To get the list the
-client opens a TCP/IP connection towards the server, and sends an OP_REQ_DEVLIST
-packet on top of the TCP/IP connection (so the actual OP_REQ_DEVLIST may be sent
-in one or more pieces at the low level transport layer). The server sends back
-the OP_REP_DEVLIST packet which lists the exported USB devices. Finally the
-TCP/IP connection is closed.

- "client" "server"

- | OP_REQ_DEVLIST |

- | OP_REP_DEVLIST |
- | <---------------------------------------------- |
- | |
-
-Once the client knows the list of exported USB devices it may decide to use one
-of them. First the client opens a TCP/IP connection towards the server and
-sends an OP_REQ_IMPORT packet. The server replies with OP_REP_IMPORT. If the
-import was successful the TCP/IP connection remains open and will be used
-to transfer the URB traffic between the client and the server. The client may
-send two types of packets: the USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT to submit an URB, and
-USBIP_CMD_UNLINK to unlink a previously submitted URB. The answers of the
-server may be USBIP_RET_SUBMIT and USBIP_RET_UNLINK respectively.
