Provides the data bytes snooped over the LPC snoop bus to userspace
as a (blocking) misc character device.
Bytes output from the host using LPC I/O transactions to the snooped port
can be watched or retrieved from the character device using a simple
command like this:
~# od -w1 -A n -t x1 /dev/aspeed-lpc-snoop0

This driver enables the LPC snoop hardware on the ASPEED BMC
which generates an interrupt upon every write to an I/O port
by the host.
This is typically used to monitor BIOS boot progress by listening
to well-known debug port 80h.
The functionality in this commit just saves all snooped values
to a circular 2K buffer in the kernel, subsequent commits can
act on the values to do things with them.
