Subject: [PATCH 1/2] gameport: Add helper macro for gameport_driver
 boilerplate

This patch introduces the module_gameport_driver macro which is a convenience
macro for gameport driver modules similar to module_platform_driver. It is
intended to be used by drivers which init/exit section does nothing but
register/unregister the serio driver. By using this macro it is possible
to eliminate a few lines of boilerplate code per serio driver.

Based on work done by Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@...afoo.de> for other
busses (i2c and spi).
