Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

<title>memory-hotplug: create /sys/firmware/memmap entry for new memory</title>

A memmap is a directory in sysfs which includes 3 text files: start, end
and type.  For example:

start: 	0x100000
end:	0x7e7b1cff
type:	System RAM

Interface firmware_map_add was not called explicitly.  Remove it and add
function firmware_map_add_hotplug as hotplug interface of memmap.

Each memory entry has a memmap in sysfs, When we hot-add new memory, sysfs
does not export memmap entry for it.  We add a call in function add_memory
to function firmware_map_add_hotplug.

Add a new function add_sysfs_fw_map_entry() to create memmap entry, it
will be called when initialize memmap and hot-add memory.

<title>firmware: only allow EDD on x86</title>

<content type='text'>
Rather than have the EDD depend on !ia64 (and assuming that only ia64,
x86, x86_64 will be including this Kconfig), have EDD depend on the only
arches which can support this code.  This should allow all other arches to
cleanly include the firmware Kconfig.

Also simplify the x86 string used by FIRMWARE_MEMMAP to match EDD.

<title>firmware_class: make request_firmware_nowait more useful</title>

Unfortunately, one cannot hold on to the struct firmware
that request_firmware_nowait() hands off, which is needed
in some cases. Allow this by requiring the callback to
free it (via release_firmware).

Additionally, give it a gfp_t parameter -- all the current
users call it from a GFP_KERNEL context so the GFP_ATOMIC
isn't necessary. This also marks an API break which is
useful in a sense, although that is obviously not the
primary purpose of this change.

<title>DMI: allow omitting ident strings in DMI tables</title>

The purpose of dmi-&gt;ident is twofold - it may be used by DMI callback
functions when composing log messages; it is also used to determine
end of DMI table in dmi_check_system() and dmi_first_match(). However,
in case when callbacks are not interested in using ident at all it just
wastes memory. Let's make entries with empty first match slot serve as
end-of-table markers instead.
