From: Patrick van de Lageweg <patrick@bitwizard.nl>

This patch converts all save_flags/restore_flags to the new
spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore calls, as well as some other 2.6.X
cleanups.  This allows the "io8+" driver to become SMP safe.

The large size of this patch comes mostly from the added debug features.
