RFE: enable uas in 3.15 kernels

Hi All,

I would like to suggest to enable uas in the 3.15 kernel:
CONFIG_USB_UAS=m

For all platforms. Usb Attached Scsi is a standard, much improved
usb storage protocol allowing the use of NCQ over usb, and slowly
more devices are hitting the market supporting it.

Besides being a whole lot faster, I also put 1.5 months of full-time
work in getting it into shape and getting it of the CONFIG_BROKEN
list upstream, which has now all finally landed.

So I also have a small personal bias towards enabling it :)

Regards,

Hans
