Improve the Kconfig help text of the follwing i2c drivers:
* busses/i2c-pca-isa.c
* chips/pcf8574.c
* chips/pcf8591.c
These are hard to detect and building them into the kernel
results in long delays at boot.

This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when
loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light. If none is specified, the driver
init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0.
This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused
by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c
slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).
Kconfig and documentation updated accordingly.

Add Broadcom HT-1000 south bridge's PCI ID to i2c-piix driver. Note
that at least on Supermicro H8SSL it uses non-standard SMBHSTCFG = 3
and standard values like 0 or 9 causes hangup.

scx200_acb is only useful on a few Geode-based systems, and won't
compile on non-x86 systems due to the lack of asm/msr.h, as reported
by Andrew Morton. Thus, we should make that driver depend on X86.

This is the continuation of the previous patch. This one removes the old
PowerMac i2c drivers (i2c-keywest and i2c-pmac-smu) and replaces them
both with a single stub driver that uses the new PowerMac low i2c layer.
Now that i2c-keywest is gone, the low-i2c code is extended to support
interrupt driver transfers. All i2c busses now appear as platform
devices. Compatibility with existing drivers should be maintained as the
i2c bus names have been kept identical, except for the SMU bus but in
that later case, all users has been fixed.
With that patch added, matching a device node to an i2c_adapter becomes
trivial.

The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines
including the iMac G5. It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time
clock, etc...
The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more
than reading the real time clock synchronously. This is a completely
rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland
interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off
the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors. This driver is a basic block
for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others.

All ISA hardware monitoring drivers (including hybrid drivers) now have
a hard dependency on i2c-isa, so they must select I2C_ISA. As a result,
CONFIG_I2C_ISA doesn't need to be left visible to the user. The good
thing here is that users will stop complaining that some driver doesn't
work just because they forgot to compile or load i2c-isa.
At this point, all drivers are working again and the cleanup phase can
begin.

Following patch removes EXPERIMENTAL flag from some of I2C bus and chip
drivers. It is removed when the driver is in kernel at least from
2.6.3 and I generally think there is no problem with it.
Also this patch adds SiS 745 to help option of sis96x and it
also fixes nForce2 driver entry to reflect current state.

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!
