<title>ltc4215/ltc4245: Discard obsolete detect methods</title>

There is no point in implementing a detect callback for the LTC4215
and LTC4245, as these devices can't be detected. It was there solely
to handle "force" module parameters to instantiate devices, but now
we have a better sysfs interface that can do the same.

So we can get rid of the ugly module parameters and the detect
callbacks. This shrinks the binary module sizes by 36% and 46%,
respectively.

Following patch adds support for mobile Penryn CPUs. Intel documents this
poorly. I asked the Coretemp author for some help. This is totally untested and
may not work. Please test!

Allows users who use an IDE driver for their disk to use hpfall without
having to modify the source. By default /dev/sda is used.
Suggested by Christian Thaeter in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/25/505.

While we're add it, improve error message if opening /dev/freefall fails.

Improve the example code to be at least useable, as in not causing
harm (as shown below). Code can still be improved further, but this
adds some basic safeguards.

1. hpfall *MUST* mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE); itself!
Since the Program sits and waits most of the time it becomes very likely
swapped out. If it gets woken up when the laptop drops from the table
while it is swapped out it actually triggers harddrive activity!

2. Daemonize hpfall using 'daemon(0,0)' (quick and dirty).

3. Give hpfall realtime priority.
Should give a chance that it has less latency when woken up.
