We've incorporated all of Dan's fixes and suggestions and rebased the
whole series on staging-next.
We left the protocol version at 0x111, since the code is backwards
compatible with current linux-linus if encryption is disabled.
After reading "NIST Special Publication 800-38D" Appendix C we got some
doubts about the security of our usage of gcm with short (4 bytes) tags,
so we incremented USBIP_AUTHSIZE to 16, just to be safe.

Thanks,
Tobias and Dominik
