There seem to be lots of regmap-using devices with very similar interrupt
controllers with a small bank of interrupt registers and mask registers
with an interrupt per bit. This won't cover everything but it's a good
start.

Each chip supplies a base for the status registers, a base for the mask
registers, an optional base for writing acknowledgements (which may be the
same as the status registers) and an array of bits within each of these
register banks which indicate the interrupt.

There is an assumption that the bit for each interrupt will be the same
in each of the register bank.

This patch adds support for LZO compression when storing the register
cache.

For a typical device whose register map would normally occupy 25kB or 50kB
by using the LZO compression technique, one can get down to ~5-7kB.  There
might be a performance penalty associated with each individual read/write
due to decompressing/compressing the underlying cache, however that should not
be noticeable.  These memory benefits depend on whether the target architecture
can get rid of the memory occupied by the original register defaults cache
which is marked as __devinitconst.  Nevertheless there will be some memory
gain even if the target architecture can't get rid of the original register
map, this should be around ~30-32kB instead of 50kB.

There are many places in the tree where we implement register access for
devices on non-memory mapped buses, especially I2C and SPI. Since hardware
designers seem to have settled on a relatively consistent set of register
interfaces this can be effectively factored out into shared code.  There
are a standard set of formats for marshalling data for exchange with the
device, with the actual I/O mechanisms generally being simple byte
streams.

We create an abstraction for marshaling data into formats which can be
sent on the control interfaces, and create a standard method for
plugging in actual transport underneath that.

This is mostly a refactoring and renaming of the bottom level of the
existing code for sharing register I/O which we have in ASoC. A
subsequent patch in this series converts ASoC to use this.  The main
difference in interface is that reads return values by writing to a
location provided by a pointer rather than in the return value, ensuring
we can use the full range of the type for register data.  We also use
unsigned types rather than ints for the same reason.

As some of the devices can have very large register maps the existing
ASoC code also contains infrastructure for managing register caches.
This cache work will be moved over in a future stage to allow for
separate review, the current patch only deals with the physical I/O.
