Patch for unlocking all Intel flash that has instant locking on power up.
The patch has been tested on Intel M18, P30 and J3D Strata Flash.
1. The automatic unlocking can be disabled for a particular partition
in the map or the command line.
a. For the bit mask in the map it should look like:
.mask_flags = MTD_POWERUP_LOCK,
b. For the command line parsing it should look like:
mtdparts=0x80000(bootloader)lk
2. This will only unlock parts with instant individual block locking.
Intel parts with legacy unlocking will not be unlocked.

Fix the sparse warnings generated by the implicit
dependency of mtd_blkdevs.c and mtd_core.c for the
two symbols mtd_table and mtd_table_mutex. This is
done by adding an local header file mtdcore.h to
define these (including the warning about the
non-proliferation of these symbols).

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

While we're fixing up the newly-added symbol, change the neighbouring ones
too, for consistency and also to reflect the author's interpretation of
the GPL -- which is that _no_ non-GPL modules are permitted. The author
always intended his code to be released under the GPL, and believes that
any new interpretation of 'EXPORT_SYMBOL' as being any different from
'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL' is entirely invalid; the GPL requires that _all_
exports have the semantics of the new 'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL', which means the
extra four characters are entirely redundant.
But since those four extra characters trigger the check for illegal
modules in a way that just EXPORT_SYMBOL does not, it's useful to change
anyway. This action in no way indicates an admission that there is any
legal distinction between the two states, and in particular does not
indicate that the author believes that non-GPL modules may use symbols
exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL alone.

get_mtd_device() returns NULL in case of any failure. Teach it to return an
error code instead. Fix all users as well.

This patch adds get_device() and put_device() methods to the MTD description
structure (struct mtd_info). These methods are called by MTD whenever the MTD
device is get or put. They are needed when the underlying driver is something
smarter then just flash chip driver, for example UBI.

This patch adds one more function to the MTD interface to make it possible to
open MTD devices by their names, not only numbers. This is very handy in many
situations. Also, MTD device number depend on load order and may vary, while
names are fixed.

Introduce the MTD_STUPID_LOCK flag which indicates that the flash chip is
always locked after power-up, so all sectors need to be unlocked before it
is usable.
If this flag is set, and the chip provides an unlock() operation,
mtd_add_device will unlock the whole MTD device if it's writeable. This
means that non-writeable partitions will stay locked.
Set MTD_STUPID_LOCK in fixup_use_atmel_lock() so that these chips will work
as expected.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
