Input: pcspkr - separate device and driver registration

The current pcspkr code combines the device and driver registration.
This patch splits these, putting the device registration in the arch
specific code.

PowerPC and MIPS only have the pcspkr present sometimes.

[PATCH] sanitize building of fs/compat_ioctl.c

Now that all these entries in the arch ioctl32.c files are gone [1], we can
build fs/compat_ioctl.c as a normal object and kill tons of cruft. We need a
special do_ioctl32_pointer handler for s390 so the compat_ptr call is done.
This is not needed but harmless on all other architectures. Also remove some
superflous includes in fs/compat_ioctl.c

Tested on ppc64.

[1] parisc still had it's PPP handler left, which is not fully correct
for ppp and besides that ppp uses the generic SIOCPRIV ioctl so it'd
kick in for all netdevice users. We can introduce a proper handler
in one of the next patch series by adding a compat_ioctl method to
struct net_device but for now let's just kill it - parisc doesn't
compile in mainline anyway and I don't want this to block this
patchset.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
