[patch 2.6.14-rc6-git 5/6] SPI bitbang utilities

[David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net>]

This code supports a range of implementations for SPI controllers,
from pure GPIO bitbanging up to drivers using non-queued DMA.  The
price includes a task context and various other restrictions that
higher performance drivers may need to avoid.

This adds a bitbanging spi master, hooking up to board/adapter-specific glue
code which knows how to set and read the signals (gpios etc).

That glue code gets hooked up using platform_data which includes I/O loops.
Those loops could be optimized down to a few instructions accessing GPIO
registers, in some common cases.

This understands all the currently defined protocol tweaking options, and
could eventually serve as as reference implementation for them.

  - different word sizes
  - differing clock rates
  - SPI modes differing only by CPOL ... chip setup, I/O loops
  - SPI modes with I/O loops differing by CPHA
  - delays (usecs) after transfers
  - dropping chipselect mid-transfer

Not all those combinations have been tested yet; notably, not CPHA=1.
