[patch 2.6.24-rc6-mm 1/9] gpiolib: add drivers/gpio directory

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

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net>

Add an empty drivers/gpio directory for gpiolib infrastructure
and GPIO expanders.  It is populated by subsequent patches.

This won't be the only place to hold such gpio_chip code.  Many
external chips add a few GPIOs as secondary functionality (such
as MFD drivers) and platform code frequently needs to closely
integrate GPIO and IRQ support.

This is placed *early* in the build/link sequence since it's common
for other drivers to depend on GPIOs to do their work, so they must
be initialized early in the device_initcall() sequence.
