fc75bbd740 * The analysis for how DriveSetup works on BeOS is no longer relevant and
Haiku's own DriveSetup works differently.

d11a6916ee More or less completed the introduction. I would just want to add the image,
and publish it on the website - comments are still welcome, though.

6bfd06d1ff BRoster::Launch() eventually launches the application in question
in several steps:
1. early pre-registration with the registrar ("I wanna launch the
   app, make sure noone interferes.")
2. load the app image
3. finish pre-registration with the registrar ("I have launched
   the app, here is its team ID.")
4. start app main thread
5. send "on launch" messages to the app (argv, refs, others)

If the app is already running or being launched, 1. fails with a
conclusive error code and returns the team ID and the pre-registration
token of the app. Steps 2 - 4 are skipped and only the messages are
delivered using the team ID returned by 1.

This change fixes a race condition: The failed early pre-registration
request obviously cannot return the team ID, if the other thread
launching the app has not finished step 3 yet. Thus the argv/refs
message would not get delivered and Launch() would not return the
correct team ID.

Now we wait for the pre-registration to be finished in this case, using
the former _IsAppPreRegistered() mechanism, which already provided
such a waiting feature for one request. It has been extended to
accomodate an arbitrary number of waiting requests and renamed to
_IsAppRegistered().

This fixed bug #763.

1501c2bf3e This is just an outline of the USB stack: what it is going to look like. It is definately not
ready for testing. Also the documentation is far from complete (it's in it's early phases).
Unfortunately I don't have enough experience in hardware programming to prototype
it first, so I'll be testing the things that I design in the document.
