Change the way McBSP registers are maintained: store values written to the
device in a cache in order to make use of those cached values when
convenient.

This could help for developing the McBSP context save/restore features, as
well as solve the problem of possible register corruption, experienced on
OMAP1510 based Amstrad Delta board at least.

Series created against linux-omap for-next, commit
fb7380d70e041e4b3892f6b19dff7efb609d15a4 (2.6.33-rc3+ dated 2010-01-11).
All patches tested on OMAP1510 based Amstrad Delta and compile-tested using
omap_3430sdp_defconfig at least.

Latest changes:
- patch 3: allow for using the mcbsp->free as a guard for cache access,
           adpot for fixed error handling in omap_mcbsp_request().
- patch 5: dropped
- all: refresh against latest l-o for-next tree.
