This patch adds labels support for fans if SMM function with EAX register
0x03a3 reports it. This information was taken from DOS binary NBSVC.MDM.
Additionally this patch change detection of fan presece. Instead reading fan
status now detection is based on new label SMM function. Dell DOS binary
NBSVC.MDM is doing similar checks, so we should do that too.
This patch also remove I8K_FAN_LEFT and I8K_FAN_RIGHT usage from hwmon driver
part because that names does not make sense anymore. So numeric constants are
used instead. Original /proc/i8k ioctl part was not changed for compatibility
reasons.

Both Dell Latitude machines were tested with new fan autodetection code and they
are working fine. We already have DMI_MATCH data for generic Latitude machines
which match also E6440 and E6540 models. So we do not need to maintain DMI data
for those specific machines anymore.

This patch adds new function i8k_get_fan_nominal_speed() for doing SMM call
which will return nominal fan RPM for specified fan speed. It returns nominal
RPM value at which fan operate when speed (0, 1, 2, 3) is set. It looks like
RPM value is not accurate, but still provides very useful information.
New function i8k_get_fan_nominal_speed() is used for determinate if fan
multiplier is 1 or 30. If function for maximal fan value success and returned
RPM value too high (above 30000) then fan multiplier is set to 1. Otherwise
multiplier is not changed and default value 30 is used.

Instead of returning a previous value if the SMM code returns
an error when trying to read a temperature, retry once.
If that fails again, return -ENODATA. Also return -ENODATA if an
attempt is made to read the GPU temperature but the GPU is
currently turned off.
Drop the I8K_TEMPERATURE_BUG definition and handle the related bug
unconditionally.

Static array prev[] was incorrectly initialized. It should be initialized to
some "invalid" temperature value (above I8K_MAX_TEMP).
Next, function should store "invalid" value to prev[] (above I8K_MAX_TEMP),
not valid (= I8K_MAX_TEMP) because whole temperature bug handling will not
work.
And last part, to not break existing detection of temperature sensors, register
them also if i8k report too high temperature (above I8K_MAX_TEMP). This is
needed because some sensors are sometimes turned off (e.g sensor on GPU which
can be turned off/on) and in this case SMM report too high value.
To prevent reporting "invalid" values to userspace, return -EINVAL. In this case
sensors which are currently turned off (e.g optimus/powerexpress/enduro gpu)
are reported as "N/A" by lm-sensors package.

Commit f36fdb9f0266 (i8k: Force SMM to run on CPU 0) adds support
for multi-core CPUs to the driver. Unfortunately, that causes it
to fail loading if compiled without SMP support, at least on
32 bit kernels. Kernel log shows "i8k: unable to get SMM Dell
signature", and function i8k_smm is found to return -EINVAL.
Testing revealed that the culprit is the missing return value check
of set_cpus_allowed_ptr.

At least on Studio 1555 and XPS M140, the fan speed is reported directly,
not with the default speed multiplier of 30. Information on the web
suggests that this may be true for other models as well, though it is
unknown at this time which systems may be affected.

The fix in commit 6b4e81db2552 ("i8k: Tell gcc that *regs gets
clobbered") to work around the gcc miscompiling i8k.c to add "+m
(*regs)" caused register pressure problems and a build failure.
Changing the 'asm' statement to 'asm volatile' instead should prevent
that and works around the gcc bug as well, so we can remove the "+m".
[ Background on the gcc bug: a memory clobber fails to mark the function
the asm resides in as non-pure (aka "__attribute__((const))"), so if
the function does nothing else that triggers the non-pure logic, gcc
will think that that function has no side effects at all. As a result,
callers will be mis-compiled.
Adding the "+m" made gcc see that it's not a pure function, and so
does "asm volatile". The problem was never really the need to mark
"*regs" as changed, since the memory clobber did that part - the
problem was just a bug in the gcc "pure" function analysis - Linus ]

More recent GCC caused the i8k driver to stop working, on Slackware
compiler was upgraded from gcc-4.4.4 to gcc-4.5.1 after which it didn't
work anymore, meaning the driver didn't load or gave total nonsensical

As it turned out the asm(..) statement forgot to mention it modifies the
*regs variable.

All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.
None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.
Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.
These drivers do not seem to be under active
maintainance from my brief investigation. Apologies
to those maintainers that I have missed.

Three main sets of changes:
1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const,
since callers should not be changing that data.
2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should,
whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to
that data area.
3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible
in low-level drivers.
And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional
optimizations on the part of the compiler.
The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated. #1 could
have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others,
it was easier to roll it into this changeset.
