Added support so the diag ring buffer can be pulled via sysfs
Added three new shost attributes: host_trace_buffer,
host_trace_buffer_enable, and host_trace_buffer_size.  The
host_trace_buffer_enable attribute is used to either post or release
the trace buffers.   The host_trace_buffer_size attribute contains
the size of the trace buffer. The host_trace_buffer atttribute contains
a maximum 4KB window of the buffer. In order to read the entire host buffer,
you will need to write the offset to  host_trace_buffer prior to reading
it. release the host buffer, then write the entire host buffer contents to
a file.
In addition to this enhancement, we moved the automatic posting of host buffers
at driver load time to be called prior to port_enable, instead of after.
That way discovery is available in the host buffer.
