[PATCH] spi: add spi_driver to SPI framework

This is a refresh of the "Simple SPI Framework" found in 2.6.15-rc3-mm1
which makes the following changes:

  * There's now a "struct spi_driver".  This increase the footprint
    of the core a bit, since it now includes code to do what the driver
    core was previously handling directly.  Documentation and comments
    were updated to match.

  * spi_alloc_master() now does class_device_initialize(), so it can
    at least be refcounted before spi_register_master().  To match,
    spi_register_master() switched over to class_device_add().

  * States explicitly that after transfer errors, spi_devices will be
    deselected.  We want fault recovery procedures to work the same
    for all controller drivers.

  * Minor tweaks:  controller_data no longer points to readonly data;
    prevent some potential cast-from-null bugs with container_of calls;
    clarifies some existing kerneldoc,

And a few small cleanups.

+The "Serial Peripheral Interface" (SPI) is a synchronous four wire serial

 The three signal wires hold a clock (SCLK, often on the order of 10 MHz),
 and parallel data lines with "Master Out, Slave In" (MOSI) or "Master In,
 Slave Out" (MISO) signals.  (Other names are also used.)  There are four
