This patch fixes a number of cases where things were not properly
cleaned up when acpi_check_resource_conflict() returned an error,
causing oopses such as the one reported here:

Check for ACPI resource conflicts in hwmon drivers. I've included
all Super-I/O and PCI drivers.
I've voluntarily left out:
* Vendor-specific drivers: if they conflicted on any system, this would
pretty much mean that they conflict on all systems, and we would know
by now.
* Legacy ISA drivers (lm78 and w83781d): they only support chips found
on old designs were ACPI either wasn't supported or didn't deal with
thermal management.
* Drivers accessing the I/O resources indirectly (e.g. through SMBus):
the checks are already done where they belong, i.e. in the bus drivers.

While it is possible to force SMBus-based hardware monitoring chip
drivers to drive a not officially supported device, we do not have this
possibility for Super-I/O-based drivers. That's unfortunate because
sometimes newer chips are fully compatible and just forcing the driver
to load would work. Instead of that we have to tell the users to
recompile the kernel driver, which isn't an easy task for everyone.
So, I propose that we add a module parameter to all Super-I/O based
hardware monitoring drivers, letting advanced users force the driver
to load on their machine. The user has to provide the device ID of a
supposedly compatible device. This requires looking at the source code or
a datasheet, so I am confident that users can't randomly force a driver
without knowing what they are doing. Thus this should be relatively safe.
As you can see from the code, the implementation is pretty simple and
unintrusive.

Found these while looking at printk uses.
Add missing newlines to dev_<level> uses
Add missing KERN_<level> prefixes to multiline dev_<level>s
Fixed a wierd->weird spelling typo
Added a newline to a printk

My understanding of the resource management in the Linux 2.6 device
driver model is that the devices should declare their resources, and
then when a driver attaches to a device, it should request the
resources it will be using, so as to mark them busy. This is how the
PCI and PNP subsystems work, you can clearly see the two levels of
resources (declaration and request) in /proc/ioports for these
devices.
So I believe that our platform hardware monitoring drivers should
follow the same logic. At the moment, we only declare the resources
but we do not request them. This patch adds the I/O region request
and release calls.

The configuration index port of the vt1211 can be accessed at two
different addresses 0x2e or 0x4e, depending on pin strappings. This
patch adds support to scan both addresses during module
initialization.

hwmon: New driver for the VIA VT1211
This is a new driver for the VIA VT1211 Super-IO chip. It is a rewrite
of the existing vt1211 driver (by Mark D. Studebaker and Lars Ekman)
which has been around for a while but never made it into the main
kernel tree.
It is implemented as a platform driver and therefore requires
lm_sensors 2.10.1 to function properly.
