hp accelerometer: add freefall detection
This adds freefall handling to hp_accel driver. According to HP, it should just work, without us having to set the chip up by hand. hpfall.c is example .c program that parks the disk when accelerometer detects free fall. It should work; for now, it uses fixed 20seconds protection period.

36Another feature of the driver is misc device called "freefall" that
37acts similar to /dev/rtc and reacts on free-fall interrupts received
38from the device. It supports blocking operations, poll/select and
39fasync operation modes. You must read 1 bytes from the device. The
40result is number of free-fall interrupts since the last successful
41read (or 255 if number of interrupts would not fit).
