Implement the I2C block transactions on VIA chips which support them:
VT82C686B, VT8233, VT8233A, VT8235 and VT8237R. This speeds up EEPROM
accesses by a factor 10 or so.
I would like to thank Antonino A. Daplas, Hinko Kocevar, Salah Coronya

The 24RF08 corruption would better be prevented at i2c-core level than
at chip driver level, for several reasons:
* The second quick write should happen as soon as possible after the
first one, so as to limit the risk that another command is issued on
the bus inbetween, causing the corruption.
* As a matter of fact, the protection code at driver level was reworked
at least three times already, which proves how hard it is to get it
right there, while it's straightforward at i2c-core level.
* It's easy to add a new driver that would need the protection, and
forget to add it. This did happen already.
* As additional probing addresses can be passed to most i2c chip drivers
as module parameters, virtually every i2c chip driver would need the
protection if we want to be really safe.
* Why duplicate code when we can easily avoid it?

i2c_probe was quite complex and slow, so I rewrote it in a more
efficient and hopefully clearer way.
Note that this slightly changes the way the module parameters are
handled. This shouldn't change anything for the most common cases
though.
For one thing, the function now respects the order of the parameters
for address probing. It used to always do lower addresses first. The
new approach gives the user more control.
For another, ignore addresses don't overrule probe addresses anymore.
This could have been restored the way it was at the cost of a few more
lines of code, but I don't think it's worth it. Both lists are given
as module parameters, so a user would be quite silly to specify the
same addresses in both lists. The normal addresses list is the only
one that isn't controlled by a module parameter, thus is the only one
the user may reasonably want to remove an address from.
Another significant change is the fact that i2c_probe() will no more
stop when a detection function returns -ENODEV. Just because a driver
found a chip it doesn't support isn't a valid reason to stop all
probings for this one driver. This closes the long standing lm_sensors
ticket #1807.
http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1807
I updated the documentation accordingly.
In terms of algorithmic complexity, the new code is way better. If
I is the ignore address count, P the probe address count, N the
normal address count and F the force address count, the old code
was doing 128 * (F + I + P + N) iterations max, while the new code
does F + P + ((I+1) * N) iterations max. For the most common case
where F, I and P are empty, this is down from 128 * N to N.

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.

The only thing left in i2c-sensor.h are module parameter definition
macros. It's only an extension of what i2c.h offers, and this extension
is not sensors-specific. As a matter of fact, a few non-sensors drivers
use them. So we better merge them in i2c.h, and get rid of i2c-sensor.h
altogether.

Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all
sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code
address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can
easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for
significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size
shrink for all these drivers).
Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers.
These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the
ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes
a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as
what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one
in parts.
A documentation update is included.
The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes
for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which
do not.
This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors
i2c code (and we want to do this).

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!
