[PATCH] spi: add spi_bitbang driver

This adds a bitbanging spi master, hooking up to board/adapter-specific glue
code which knows how to set and read the signals (gpios etc).

This code kicks in after the glue code creates a platform_device with the
right platform_data.  That data includes I/O loops, which will usually
come from expanding an inline function (provided in the header).  One goal
is that the I/O loops should be easily optimized down to a few GPIO register
accesses, in common cases, for speed and minimized overhead.

This understands all the currently defined protocol tweaking options in the
SPI framework, and might eventually serve as as reference implementation.

  - different word sizes (1..32 bits)
  - differing clock rates
  - SPI modes differing by CPOL (affecting chip select and I/O loops)
  - SPI modes differing by CPHA (affecting I/O loops)
  - delays (usecs) after transfers
  - temporarily deselecting chips in mid-transfer

A lot of hardware could work with this framework, though common types of
controller can't reach peak performance without switching to a driver
structure that supports pipelining of transfers (e.g.  DMA queues) and maybe
controllers (e.g.  IRQ driven).

+ * Mix this utility code with some glue code to get one of several types of
+ * simple SPI master driver.  Two do polled word-at-a-time I/O:
+ *
+ *   -  GPIO/parport bitbangers.  Provide chipselect() and txrx_word[](),
+ *      expanding the per-word routines from the inline templates below.
+ *
+ *   -  Drivers for controllers resembling bare shift registers.  Provide
+ *      chipselect() and txrx_word[](), with custom setup()/cleanup() methods
+ *      that use your controller's clock and chipselect registers.
+ *
+ * Some hardware works well with requests at spi_transfer scope:
+ *
+ *   -  Drivers leveraging smarter hardware, with fifos or DMA; or for half
+ *      duplex (MicroWire) controllers.  Provide chipslect() and txrx_bufs(),
+ *      and custom setup()/cleanup() methods.
