cs5535: add a generic MFGPT driver
This is based on the old code on arch/x86/kernel/mfgpt_32.c, except it's not x86 specific, it's modular, and it makes use of a PCI BAR rather than a random MSR. Currently module unloading is not supported; it's uncertain whether or not it can be made work with the hardware.

+ This driver provides access to MFGPT functionality for other
+ drivers that need timers. MFGPTs are available in the CS5535 and
+ CS5536 companion chips that are found in AMD Geode and several
+ other platforms. They have a better resolution and max interval
+ than the generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
+ You probably don't want to enable this manually; other drivers that
+ make use of it should enable it.

+ MFGPTs on the CS5535 require an interrupt. The selected IRQ
+ can be overridden as a module option as well as by driver that
+ use the cs5535_mfgpt_ API; however, different architectures might
+ want to use a different IRQ by default. This is here for
+ architectures to set as necessary.
