Subject: [PATCH] mach-ixp4xx: made gpio functions atomic

gpio_line_set and gpio_line config on ixp4xx were not atomic
This patch fixes this by surrounding them with local_irq_save and
local_irq_restore calls, similar to the way Lennert Buytenhek
implemented this for iop. (see arch/arm/plat-iop/gpio.c)

Signed-off-by: Frans Meulenbroeks <fransmeulenbroeks@...il.com>

Note: an alternative solution would be to use the set_bit and 
clear_bit atomic functions, but I felt it better to do things
the same way as Lennert did. Also it could be that this is a few
bytes smaller. Didn't check that.

PS: please Cc me as I am not on the list
