Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Add new builtin_misc_device users

The new macro builtin_misc_device doesn't currently exist anywhere
other than Greg's char-misc tree.  As such I was going to stagger
the patches containing users of it by a merge window to avoid any
dependency issues, but Greg offered to take the users in via the
char-misc tree which also solves the dependency issue (assuming
the blackfin and s390 people don't mind).

So these three patches are the ones from my queue that use the
new macro.  Build tested for s390 and blackfin to ensure no typos
or implicit include issues inadvertently crept in.

We are simply replacing module_misc_device with the new
builtin_misc_device in code that is always built in due to
the Makefile/Kconfig settings controlling it.  Along with that
we get rid of any other modular related references that are
inactive in the always non-modular case.

Paul.
