This adds a new generic gpio rfkill driver to support rfkill switches
which are controlled by gpios. The driver also supports passing in
data about the clock for the radio, so that when rfkill is blocking,
it can disable the clock.
This driver assumes platform data is passed from the board files to
configure it for specific devices.

Add a regulator consumer driver for rfkill to enable controlling radio
transmitters connected to voltage regulators using the regulator
framework.
A new "vrfkill" virtual supply is provided to use in platform code.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

Now that we added the ioctl, there's no need to ask
the user to configure this. We will keep it enabled
for now, and eventually swap the default to n. Also
let embedded users select it only if they need it.

The new code added by this patch will make rfkill create
a misc character device /dev/rfkill that userspace can use
to control rfkill soft blocks and get status of devices as
well as events when the status changes.
Using it is very simple -- when you open it you can read
a number of times to get the initial state, and every
further read blocks (you can poll) on getting the next
event from the kernel. The same structure you read is
also used when writing to it to change the soft block of
a given device, all devices of a given type, or all
devices.
This also makes CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT selectable again in
order to be able to test without it present since its
functionality can now be replaced by userspace entirely
and distros and users may not want the input part of
rfkill interfering with their userspace code. We will
also write a userspace daemon to handle all that and
consequently add the input code to the feature removal
schedule.
In order to have rfkilld support both kernels with and
without CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT (or new kernels after its
eventual removal) we also add an ioctl (that only exists
if rfkill-input is present) to disable rfkill-input.
It is not very efficient, but at least gives the correct
behaviour in all cases.

This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:
* all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
rather than having one central implementation
* updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
lots of code
* rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
internally -- the core should do this
* the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister
* rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
should be avoided
* rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module
* drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
that do nothing if it isn't compiled in
* the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()
* the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS
* the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
operations in locked sections
* fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
changes -- this wasn't done before

As Dmitry pointed out earlier, rfkill-input.c
doesn't support irda because there are no users
and we shouldn't add unrequired KEY_ defines.
However, RFKILL_TYPE_IRDA was defined in the
rfkill.h header file and would confuse people
about whether it is implemented or not.
This patch removes IRDA support completely,
so it can be added whenever a driver wants the
feature.
