This patch cleans up the style, error handling, and string handling in the sysfs
functions recently added to visorchipset:
- Use of sscanf() was changed to type-appropriate kstrto*() functions
- error handling was simplified
- the error return value of visorchannel_write() was corrected
- switch use of driver-specific types to kernel types

The macros CONFIG_SPAR_GUEST, GUESTDRIVERBUILD, and NOAUTOVERSION are
defined in Makefiles for the Unisys SPAR driver. They are never used.
Remove the lines that define these macros.

This patch adds support for detection of s-Par firmware by checking for
the hypervisor bit in the CPU capabilities, and then querying the hypervisor
ID cpuid leaf.
This functionality will be used by the unisys drivers to determine if
they are being loaded on an s-Par platform and refuse to load if no
s-Par firmware is present.
This fixes a problem reported from upstream where a panic occurs if the
unisys drivers are loaded on a non s-Par system.

instead of kmalloc/memset"
This patch is a fixup for
linux-next: 97a84f1203
"Staging: unisys: Replace kmalloc/memset with kzalloc"
The ALLOC_CMDRSP #define is after transformation to kzalloc only a
rename for kzalloc and was completly removed.

Clean up code to get rid of sparse warnings.
Also fixed variable length arrays declared on the stack by removing
visor_hexDumpToBuffer() and using hex_dump_to_buffer() instead.

Fix coccinelle warnings of better allocation by using kzalloc.
In these cases, kzalloc is preferred, as kmalloc may fail if it does not find
contiguous memory.
