hp accelerometer: add freefall detection

Browse Source 
This adds freefall handling to hp_accel driver.  According to HP, it
should just work, without us having to set the chip up by hand.

hpfall.c is example .c program that parks the disk when accelerometer
detects free fall.  It should work; for now, it uses fixed 20seconds
protection period.

This driver also provides an absolute input class device, allowing
the laptop to act as a pinball machine-esque joystick.
Another feature of the driver is misc device called "freefall" that
acts similar to /dev/rtc and reacts on free-fall interrupts received
from the device. It supports blocking operations, poll/select and
fasync operation modes. You must read 1 bytes from the device. The
result is number of free-fall interrupts since the last successful
read (or 255 if number of interrupts would not fit).
