[PATCH v3 0/5(7)] OMAP1: Amstrad Delta: add FIQ based support for external keyboard

This series of patches adds support for an external keyboard (called 
mailboard) connected to the Amstrad Delta (E3) videophone.

The series is based on a patch by Matt Callow, created against
linux-omap-2.6.19[1], initially submitted to the e3-hacking mailing list in
April 2006[2].

Since the keyboard serial clock line is connected to a GPIO line, it generates
interrupts every single bit received. In order to handle this correctly, the
code makes use of a FIQ hardware feature. Since all GPIO generated interrupts 
would be converted to FIQ, the handler must include support for all supported 
GPIO connected devices: the keyboard, a modem and a hook switch.

My initial modifications to the original patch included:
- split into several patches,
- refresh against a recent linux version,
- a lot of cleanups, mainly to get rid of checkpatch reported issues,
- add support for handling interrupts generated by a GPIO line that the 
  meanwhile activated hook switch hangs off.
v2 changes:
- remove scan code to key code mapping from the serio driver, that doesn't 
  belong here and should be set up from userspace; thanks to Dmitry Torokhov 
  for advising this,
- no funtional changes in FIQ part (there were no comments in round 1).
v3 changes:
- cleanups suggested by Dmitry (applied not only to serio bits),
- assembly code optimizations suggested by Ralph Corderoy,
- (re)use existing header file provided macros where applicable instead of 
  defining new; remove a lot of unnecessary defines,
- extract missing FIQ_START definition fix into an extra patch numbered 
  0.1/5(7),
- modify both fiq and deferred_fiq handlers to follow default OMAP GPIO 
  interrupt processing path more closely,
- update board initialization code for complete modem IRQ GPIO line setup; 
  this appeared essential for correct interaction with optimized FIQ handler; 
  change is provided as a separate patch numbered 2.1/5(7),
- use IRQ12 (reserved on OMAP1510) for requesting deferred_fiq handler instead 
  of TIMER32k dedicated IRQ,
- more optimizations in both assembly and C code,
- modify serio Kconfig for automatic AT keyboard and FIQ handler selection,
- drop intermediate defconfig changes.

Created and tested against linux-2.6.34-rc4.
