This patch adds a generic UIO platform driver. It eliminates the need for a
dedicated kernel module for simple platform devices. Users only need to
implement their irq handler in platform code and fill a struct uio_info
there. This helps avoiding code duplication as UIO platform drivers often
share a lot of common code.

Sometimes it is necessary to enable/disable the interrupt of a UIO device
from the userspace part of the driver. With this patch, the UIO kernel driver
can implement an "irqcontrol()" function that does this. Userspace can write
an s32 value to /dev/uioX (usually 0 or 1 to turn the irq off or on). The
UIO core will then call the driver's irqcontrol function.

depend explicitly on UIO.

There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
sorts of bad things to happen.
This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
device_create_drvdata().

This patch implements a UIO interface for the SMX Cryptengine.
The Cryptengine found on the Nias Digital SMX board is best suited
for a UIO interface. It is not wired in to the cryptographic API
as the engine handles it's own keys, algorithms, everything. All
that we know about is that if there's room in the buffer, you can
write data to it and when there's data ready, you read it out again.
There isn't necessarily even any direct correlation between data
going in and data coming out again, the engine may consume or
generate data all on its own.
This driver is for proprietary hardware but we're always told to
submit the drivers anyway; here you are. :-)
This is version 4 of this patch and addresses all issues raised by
Hans-Jürgen Koch and Paul Mundt in their reviews. Slightly altered
is Paul's suggestion to use DRV_NAME and DRV_VERSION as the UIO
version and name. While at the moment they are the same, there
is no reason for them to stay that way. Nevertheless we now at
least provide a MODULE_VERSION macro to keep modinfo happy.

Mapping of physical memory in UIO needs pgprot_noncached() to ensure
that IO memory is not cached. Without pgprot_noncached(), it (accidentally)
works on x86 and arm, but fails on PPC.

This fixes two bugs with UIO that cropped up recently in -rc1
1) WARNING: at fs/sysfs/file.c:334 sysfs_open_file when trying to open
a map addr/size file - complaining about missing sysfs_ops for ktype
2) Permission denied when reading uio/uio0/maps/map0/{addr,size} when
files are mode S_IRUGO
Also fix a typo: attr_attribute -> addr_attribute

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.
This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

this is a patch that adds support for Hilscher CIF DeviceNet and
Profibus cards. I tested it on a Kontron CPX board, and Thomas reviewed
it.
You can find the user space part here:
http://www.osadl.org/projects/downloads/UIO/user/cif-0.1.0.tar.gz
Notes: cif_api.c is the main file you want to look at. It contains the
functions to open, close, mmap and so on. cif_dps.c adds functions
specific to Profibus cards, and cif_dn.c contains functions for
DeviceNet cards. cif.c is a universal playground, it's just a small
test program. The user space part of this UIO driver is still work in
progress, and not everything is tested yet. At the moment, the thread in
cif_api.c contains some code that artificially makes the card generate
interrupts, this was added for testing and will be removed later. But
the driver already contains all the functions needed for useful
operation, so it gives a good idea of how such a thing looks like.
For comparison, here's what you get from the manufacturer
(www.hilscher.com) when you ask for a Linux 2.6 driver:

This interface allows the ability to write the majority of a driver in
userspace with only a very small shell of a driver in the kernel itself.
It uses a char device and sysfs to interact with a userspace process to
process interrupts and control memory accesses.
See the docbook documentation for more details on how to use this
interface.
