rng-core module allocates rng_buffer by kmalloc() since commit
f7f154f1246ccc5a0a7e9ce50932627d60a0c878. But this buffer won't be
freed and there is a memory leak possibility at module exit.

The code currently only supports one virtio-rng device at a time.
Invoking guests with multiple devices causes the guest to blow up.

Check if we've already registered and initialised the driver.  Also
cleanup in case of registration errors or hot-unplug so that a new
device can be used.

<title>hw_random: make buffer usable in scatterlist.</title>

<id>f7f154f1246ccc5a0a7e9ce50932627d60a0c878</id>
<content type='text'>
virtio_rng feeds the randomness buffer handed by the core directly
into the scatterlist, since commit bb347d98079a547e80bd4722dee1de61e4dca0e8.

However, if CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=m, the static buffer isn't a linear address
(at least on most archs).  We could fix this in virtio_rng, but it's actually
far easier to just do it in the core as virtio_rng would have to allocate
a buffer every time (it doesn't know how much the core will want to read).

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Pull ARM SoC multiplatform conversion patches from Olof Johansson:
 "Here are more patches in the progression towards multiplatform, sparse
  irq conversions in particular.

  Tegra has a handful of cleanups and general groundwork, but is not
  quite there yet on full enablement.

  Platforms that are enabled through this branch are VT8500 and Zynq.
  Note that i.MX was converted in one of the earlier cleanup branches as
  well (before we started a separate topic for multiplatform).  And both
  new platforms for this merge window, sunxi and bcm, were merged with
  multiplatform support enabled."

Fix up conflicts mostly as per Olof.
