[PATCH 00/11] macintosh: Resolve various PMU driver problems

This series of patches has the following aims.

1) Eliminate duplicated code. Linux presently has two drivers for
   the 68HC05-based PMU devices found in Macs: via-pmu and via-pmu68k.
   There's no value in having separate PMU drivers for each architecture.

2) Avoid further work on via-pmu68k that's not needed for via-pmu.

3) Fix some bugs in the via-pmu driver.

4) Enable the /dev/pmu and /proc/pmu/* userspace APIs on m68k Macs
   by adopting via-pmu.

5) Improve stability on early 100-series PowerBooks by loading no PMU
   driver at all. Neither via-pmu nor via-pmu68k supports the early
   M50753-based PMU device found in these models.

6) Eliminate duplicated RTC accessors for PMU and Cuda. Presently these
   can be found under both arch/m68k and arch/powerpc.

7) Assist the out-of-tree NuBus PowerMac port to support PMU designs
   shared with the m68k Mac port (e.g. PowerBooks 190 and 5300).

This patch series has been regression tested on various PowerBooks
(190, 520, 3400, Pismo G3) and PowerMacs (Beige G3, G5). These patches
did not affect userland utilities. (Note that there is a userland-
visible change to the contents of /proc/pmu/interrupts.)
