This includes code for new fifo-based xps_hwicap in addition to the
older opb_hwicap, which has a significantly different interface.  The
common code between the two drivers is largely shared.

Significant differences exists between this driver and what is
supported in the EDK drivers.  In particular, most of the
architecture-specific code for reconfiguring individual FPGA resources
has been removed.  This functionality is likely better provided in a
user-space support library.  In addition, read and write access is
supported.  In addition, although the xps_hwicap cores support
interrupt-driver mode, this driver only supports polled operation, in
order to make the code simpler, and since the interrupt processing
overhead is likely to slow down the throughput under Linux.

This is an hvc-based virtio console driver.  It's suboptimal becuase
hvc expects to have raw access to interrupts and virtio doesn't assume
that, so it currently polls.

There are two solutions: expose hvc's "kick" interface, or wean off hvc.

<title>Correct Makefile rule for generating custom keymap</title>

<content type='text'>
When building a custom keymap, after setting GENERATE_KEYMAP := 1 in
drivers/char/Makefile, the kernel build fails like this:

    CC      drivers/char/vt.o
  make[2]: *** No rule to make target `drivers/char/%.map', needed by `drivers/char/defkeymap.c'.  Stop.
  make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
  make: *** [drivers] Error 2

This was caused by commit af8b128719f5248e542036ea994610a29d0642a6, which
deleted a necessary colon from the Makefile rule that generates the keymap,
since that rule contains both a target and a target-pattern.  The following
patch puts the colon back:

Fix for the problem detected by Ingo Molnar:
enabling CONFIG_PCWATCHDOG=y crashes bzImage bootup.

The reason for this can be found in drivers/makefile
We first do:
obj-y                           += char/
and later we do:
obj-y                           += base/ block/ misc/ mfd/ net/ media/

So if we put a platform or isa or usb bus driver in char/watchdog
(which is called from the Makefile in drivers/char/Makefile)
then we didn't have the different device drivers initialized yet
(they are in drivers/base and drivers/usb and ...)

This fix makes sure that we compile the watchdog drivers after
drivers/base, drivers/misc, drivers/pci and drivers/usb.
We also do the compile after hwmon because in the future the
watchdog temperature support will use the hwmon system.
