This patch adds support for advertising optional CPU features over udev
using the modalias, and for declaring compatibility with/dependency upon
such a feature in a module.
The mapping between feature numbers and actual features should be provided
by the architecture in a file called <asm/cpufeature.h> which exports the
following functions/macros:
- cpu_feature(FEAT), a preprocessor macro that maps token FEAT to a
numeric index;
- bool cpu_have_feature(n), returning whether this CPU has support for
feature #n;
- MAX_CPU_FEATURES, an upper bound for 'n' in the previous function.
The feature can then be enabled by setting CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_AUTOPROBE
for the architecture.
For instance, a module that registers its module init function using
module_cpu_feature_match(FEAT_X, module_init_function)
will be probed automatically when the CPU's support for the 'FEAT_X'
feature is advertised over udev, and will only allow the module to be
loaded by hand if the 'FEAT_X' feature is supported.

Add RapidIO-specific modalias generation to enable udev notifications
about RapidIO-specific events.
The RapidIO modalias string format is shown below:
"rapidio:vNNNNdNNNNavNNNNadNNNN"
Where:
v - Device Vendor ID (16 bit),
d - Device ID (16 bit),
av - Assembly Vendor ID (16 bit),
ad - Assembly ID (16 bit),
as they are reported in corresponding Capability Registers (CARs)
of each RapidIO device.

mei client bus will present some of the mei clients
as devices for other standard subsystems
Implement the probe, remove, match, device addtion routines, along with
the sysfs and uevent ones. mei_cl_device_id is also added to
mod_devicetable.h
A mei-cleint-bus.txt document describing the rationale and the API usage
is also added while ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-mei describeis the modalias ABI.

Use the target compiler to compute the offsets for the fields of the
device_id structures, so that it won't be broken by different alignments
between the host and target ABIs.
This also fixes missing endian corrections for some modaliases.
