When possible, please try to order the header files alphabetically.

EDOSLSR, DEPDCR and EDPDSR aren't used in the code presented below.

Mark and Mike have raised a number of problems with this.  If I get things
correctly the pseudocode (CreatePCSample() and EDPCSRlo[]), found in the
reference manual, should be dealing with most of them. 

One thing that is subtle in the peudocode is the memory-mapped access to these
registers and something else that should be checked here before proceeding.

Add atomic_notifier_chain_register() here rather than letting the infrastructure
deal with it in an initcall.  That way we don't clutter the panic_notifier_list
needlessly if the IP is not present.
