[APM] Add shared version of APM emulation

Currently ARM and MIPS both have nearly identical copies of the APM
emulation code in their arch code.  Add yet another copy of it to
drivers char and make it selectable through SYS_SUPPORTS_APM_EMULATION.

+	  APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
+	  techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
+	  APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
+	  reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
+	  battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
+	  notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
+
+	  In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
+	  and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
+	  Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
+	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
+
+	  This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
+	  manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
+	  VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
+
+	  Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
+	  much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
+	  random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
+	  anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
+	  APM in your BIOS).
