SMBus alert support. The SMBus alert protocol allows several SMBus
slave devices to share a single interrupt pin on the SMBus master,
while still allowing the master to know which slave triggered the
interrupt.
This is based on preliminary work by David Brownell. The key
difference between David's implementation and mine is that his was
part of i2c-core, while mine is split into a separate, standalone
module named i2c-smbus. The i2c-smbus module is meant to include
support for all SMBus extensions to the I2C protocol in the future.
The benefit of this approach is a zero cost for I2C bus segments which
do not need SMBus alert support. Where David's implementation
increased the size of struct i2c_adapter by 7% (40 bytes on i386),
mine doesn't touch it. Where David's implementation added over 150
lines of code to i2c-core (+10%), mine doesn't touch it. The only
change that touches all the users of the i2c subsystem is a new
callback in struct i2c_driver (common to both implementations.) I seem
to remember Trent was worried about the footprint of David'd
implementation, hopefully mine addresses the issue.

This provides partial support for new-style I2C driver binding. It builds
on "struct i2c_board_info" declarations that identify I2C devices on a given
board. This is needed on systems with I2C devices that can't be fully probed
and/or autoconfigured, such as many embedded Linux configurations where the
way a given I2C device is wired may affect how it must be used.
There are two models for declaring such devices:
* LATE -- using a public function i2c_new_device(). This lets modules
declare I2C devices found *AFTER* a given I2C adapter becomes available.
For example, a PCI card could create adapters giving access to utility
chips on that card, and this would be used to associate those chips with
those adapters.
* EARLY -- from arch_initcall() level code, using a non-exported function
i2c_register_board_info(). This copies the declarations *BEFORE* such
an i2c_adapter becomes available, arranging that i2c_new_device() will
be called later when i2c-core registers the relevant i2c_adapter.
For example, arch/.../.../board-*.c files would declare the I2C devices
along with their platform data, and I2C devices would behave much like
PNPACPI devices. (That is, both enumerate from board-specific tables.)
To match the exported i2c_new_device(), the previously-private function
i2c_unregister_device() is now exported.
Pending later patches using these new APIs, this is effectively a NOP.

The only part left in i2c-sensor is the VRM/VRD/VID handling code.
This is in no way related to i2c, so it doesn't belong there. Move
the code to hwmon, where it belongs.
Note that not all hardware monitoring drivers do VRM/VRD/VID
operations, so less drivers depend on hwmon-vid than there were
depending on i2c-sensor.

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!
