Subject: [patch 2.6.25-rc2-git] gpio:  <linux/gpio.h> and "no GPIO support here" stubs

Add a <linux/gpio.h> defining fail/warn stubs for GPIO calls on platforms
that don't support the GPIO programming interface.  That includes the
arch-specific implementation glue otherwise.

This facilitates a new model for GPIO usage:  drivers that can use GPIOs
if they're available, but don't require them.  One example of such a
driver is NAND driver for various FreeScale chips.  On platforms update
with GPIO support, they can be used instead of a worst-case delay to
verify that the BUSY signal is off.

(Also includes a couple minor unrelated doc updates.)
