* Some Makefile changes. doc/makefiles documents most of them.
* The lm78 module now compiles, but it will still crash.
* New module sensors, with general code usable by chip driver modules
* i2c-core: added function i2c_adapter_id(), which returns a (low)
unique i2c-bus ID.
* lm78.h stuff moved into lm78.c or sensors.h

When you insert i2c-proc.o, you will find some files in /proc/bus (which
is first created for 2.0 kernels). Currently, the following files are
implemented:
* /proc/bus/i2c
A list of i2c/smbus adapters. If DEBUG was true when you compiled this
module, you will also see the ISA pseudo-adapter (if isa.o is loaded).
* /proc/bus/i2c-?
For each adapter in /proc/bus/i2c, a list of registered clients.
If DEBUG was true when you compiled this module, you will also see
the i2c-proc pseudo client.
Of course, these entries are modified when adapters are added/removed.
Kernel 2.1.x users are encouraged to test this module, as /proc entries
are somewhat different beginning with kernel 2.1.29.

* i2c-bus is renamed to i2c-proc
* small patch in i2c-core.c (see correspondence with Simon Vogl)
* sensors.h contains i2c constants
* It seems lm78.[ch] was not yet committed?!?

Nothing much here yet, except some code to create /proc/bus/i2c. Should work
for kernels 2.0 and 2.1 (please test).
Other notable things:
printk statements in all modules made to have to same 'look'.

Though it is called the LM78 driver, there is not too much LM78 specific
code in it; it can better be seen as an example code skeleton for other
drivers. Right now, it creats a file /proc/sensors-test, which contains
a list of busses it registered itself on. Stupid, but very useful for
testing purposes!
You need a 2.0 kernel for lm78.o to insert (or hack the /proc system
specific parts; see lm78.c of lm_sensors version 1 how to do this).
Other parts of lm_sensors-2 are not tested for 2.1 kernels either, but
I am certain it won't work in this case :-).
See the TODO list to get some idea what is left to do, choose something
and implement it. Or not :-). But please, send a note to the mailing
list when you start on something, to avoid duplicate work...
Other notable changes:
the smbus_access routines now use (the more logical) i2c_adapter
structure, instead of smbus_adapter.

The real PIIX4 access code must still be written; perhaps somebody else could
do this? Most of it could be copied from the old piix4.c. But check carefully
what you are doing, as some things *have* changed (like the SMBUS_{BYTE,...}
variables!).
