The current SMBus Host Notify implementation relies on .alert() to
relay its notifications. However, the use cases where SMBus Host
Notify is needed currently is to signal data ready on touchpads.
This is closer to an IRQ than a custom API through .alert().
Given that the 2 touchpad manufacturers (Synaptics and Elan) that
use SMBus Host Notify don't put any data in the SMBus payload, the
concept actually matches one to one.
Benefits are multiple:
- simpler code and API: the client will just have an IRQ, and
nothing needs to be added in the adapter beside internally
enabling it.
- no more specific workqueue, the threading is handled by IRQ core
directly (when required)
- no more races when removing the device (the drivers are already
required to disable irq on remove)
- simpler handling for drivers: use plain regular IRQs
- no more dependency on i2c-smbus for i2c-i801 (and any other adapter)
- the IRQ domain is created automatically when the adapter exports
the Host Notify capability
- the IRQ are assign only if ACPI, OF and the caller did not assign
one already
- the domain is automatically destroyed on remove
- fewer lines of code (minus 20, yeah!)

SMBus Host Notify allows a slave device to act as a master on a bus to
notify the host of an interrupt. On Intel chipsets, the functionality
is directly implemented in the firmware. We just need to export a
function to call .alert() on the proper device driver.
i2c_handle_smbus_host_notify() behaves like i2c_handle_smbus_alert().
When called, it schedules a task that will be able to sleep to go through
the list of devices attached to the adapter.
The current implementation allows one Host Notification to be scheduled
while an other is running.

i2c_smbus_process_call has no users in the kernel, so this can be
removed. Documentation for the same has been updated accordingly.
Fixes following sparse warning.
drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c:1871:5: warning: symbol 'i2c_smbus_process_call'
was not declared. Should it be static?

While the mapping between I2C adapter functionality flags and
i2c_smbus_*() helper functions is rather obvious, let's still document
it for clarity.
Also drop the reference to 2 command byte I2C block reads, there is no
support for that in the kernel at the moment.

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.

Function i2c_smbus_write_quick has no users left, so we can delete it.
Also update the list of these helper functions which are gone but
could be added back if needed.

Improve the smbus-protocol documentation file somewhat:
- Use the names of the SMBus protocol operations (from the 2.0
specification), not made-up-for-Linux names.
- Add the name of the call used to execute each operation ... and
point out that there are mismatches, where functions execute
different protocol operations than their names specify.
The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by
i2c_smbus_read_byte(), and that "Write Byte" isn't executed by
i2c_smbus_write_byte(). When coding, that's not as bad as it may
seem; but that case would seem to be worth fixing.

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!
