Here we add a TIMEOUT value to the hotplug environment of the firmware requesting event. I will adapt udevd not to wait for anything else, if it finds a TIMEOUT key.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
