      SFI: add sysfs interface for SFI tables.

commit dce80a56268fffd6b5ea57b3f6ba3d027a68f05e
Author: Feng Tang <feng.tang@...el.com>
Date:   Wed May 26 11:28:08 2010 +0800

    SFI: add sysfs interface for SFI tables.
    
    Analogous to ACPI's /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/...
    
    create /sys/firmware/sfi/tables/
    
    The tables are primariy for the kernel,
    but sometimes it is useful for user-space to be
    able to read them.

commit 5487ab4a5a71e955fef7094a0624df0542da91ef
Author: Feng Tang <feng.tang@...el.com>
Date:   Tue May 25 16:40:47 2010 +0800

    SFI: add support for v0.81 spec
    
    There are 2 major changes from v0.81 to v0.7:
    1. Consolidating the SPIB/I2CB tables into a new DEVS table,
       which is more expandable and can support other bus types
       than spi/i2c.
    2. Creating a new GPIO table, which list all the GPIO pins
       used in the platform.
    
    However, to avoid breaking current platforms who use SFI v0.7
    version firmware, the definitions for SPIB/I2CB will still
    be kept for a while
