i2c: Add i2c_board_info and i2c_new_device()

This provides partial support for new-style I2C driver binding.  It builds
on "struct i2c_board_info" declarations that identify I2C devices on a given
board.  This is needed on systems with I2C devices that can't be fully probed
and/or autoconfigured, such as many embedded Linux configurations where the
way a given I2C device is wired may affect how it must be used.

There are two models for declaring such devices:

 * LATE -- using a public function i2c_new_device().  This lets modules
   declare I2C devices found *AFTER* a given I2C adapter becomes available.
   
   For example, a PCI card could create adapters giving access to utility
   chips on that card, and this would be used to associate those chips with
   those adapters.

 * EARLY -- from arch_initcall() level code, using a non-exported function
   i2c_register_board_info().  This copies the declarations *BEFORE* such
   an i2c_adapter becomes available, arranging that i2c_new_device() will
   be called later when i2c-core registers the relevant i2c_adapter.

   For example, arch/.../.../board-*.c files would declare the I2C devices
   along with their platform data, and I2C devices would behave much like
   PNPACPI devices.  (That is, both enumerate from board-specific tables.)

To match the exported i2c_new_device(), the previously-private function
i2c_unregister_device() is now exported.

Pending later patches using these new APIs, this is effectively a NOP.
