Daniel Drake a3c8121b87 x86/olpc: Add debugfs interface for EC commands
Add a debugfs interface for sending commands to the OLPC
Embedded Controller (EC) and reading the responses.  The EC
provides functionality for machine identification, battery and
AC control, wakeup control, etc.

Having a debugfs interface available is useful for EC
development and debugging.

Based on code by Paul Fox (who also approves of the end result).

Description:
A generic interface for executing OLPC Embedded Controller commands and
reading their responses.
To execute a command, write data with the format: CC:N A A A A
CC is the (hex) command, N is the count of expected reply bytes, and A A A A
are optional (hex) arguments.
To read the response (if any), read from the generic node after executing
a command. Hex reply bytes will be returned, *whether or not* they came from
the immediately previous command.
