[PATCH] HVCS fixes

Here are a set of HVCS (drivers/char/hvcs.c) fixes that were suggested by Jeff
Garzik on July 29th in his review of this driver as well as some other fixes
for problems I found while reviewing the driver.  These are all relatively
minor, but necessary.

- Cleaned up curly braces on single line conditional blocks.

- Replaced debug memset(...,0x3F,...) with memset(...,0x00,...).

- Removed explicit '= 0' after static int declarations since these default
  to zero.

- Removed list_for_each_safe() instances and replaced with
  list_for_each_entry() which cut down on amt of code.  The 'safe' version is
  un-needed now that the driver is using spinlocks.

- Changed spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock() when locking hvcs_structs_lock
  and hvcs_pi_lock since these are not touched in an int handler.

- changed spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock() in interrupt handler.

- Initialized hvcs_structs_lock and hvcs_pi_lock to SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED at
  declaration tiem rather than in hvcs_module_init().

- Added spin_lock around list_del() in destroy_hvcs_struct() to protect the
  list traversal from deletion.  The original omission was an oversight.

- Removed '= NULL' from pointer declarations since they are initialized NULL
  by default.

- Removed wmb() instance from hvcs_try_write().  They probably aren't needed
  with locking in place.

- Added check and cleanup for hvcs_pi_buff = kmalloc() in
  hvcs_module_init().

- Exposed hvcs_struct.index via a sysfs attribute so that the coupling
  between /dev/hvcs* and a vty-server can be systematically determined.

- Moved kobject_put() in hvcs_open() outside of the
  spin_unlock_irqrestore().

- In hvcs_probe() changed kmalloc(sizeof(*hvcsd),...) to
  kmalloc(sizeof(struct hvcs_struct)) because hvcsd references a NULL pointer
  at the time of kmalloc.

- Incremented the HVCS_DRIVER_VERSION to 1.3.1

arch/ppc64/kernel/hvcserver.c:

- Changed function documentation of EXPORTed functions to comply with proper
  kernel-doc documentation style.

- Changed 'unsigned int' types to 'uint32_t' to comply with how unit
  addresses and partition IDs are handled in other arch/ppc64 vterm code.

- Cleaned up curly braces on single line conditional blocks.

include/asm-ppc64/hvcserver.h:

- Added kernel-doc style documentation for hvcs_partner_info struct.

- changed 'unsigned int' types to 'uint32_t' to comply with how unit
  addresses and partition IDs are handled in other arch/ppc64 vterm code.
