asus-laptop: add base driver

Adds the new driver and make ASUS_LAPTOP and ACPI_ASUS
incompatible.  It may be strange to use ASUS_CREATE_DEVICE_ATTR
and ASUS_SET_DEVICE_ATTR now, but these macro will be very
usefull in next patchs.  ASUS_HANDLE and ASUS_HANDLE_INIT comes
from IBM_HANDLE and IBM_HANDLE_INIT, with some modification,
and will also be used in next patchs.

+          This is the new Linux driver for Asus laptops. It may also support some
+          MEDION, JVC or VICTOR laptops. It makes all the extra buttons generate
+          standard ACPI events that go through /proc/acpi/events. It also adds
+          support for video output switching, LCD backlight control, Bluetooth and
+          Wlan control, and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs.
+
+          For more information and a userspace daemon for handling the extra
+          buttons see <http://acpi4asus.sf.net/>.
+
+          If you have an ACPI-compatible ASUS laptop, say Y or M here.
