[PATCH] I2C: fix sx200_acb build on other arches
scx200_acb is only useful on a few Geode-based systems, and won't
compile on non-x86 systems due to the lack of asm/msr.h, as reported
by Andrew Morton. Thus, we should make that driver depend on X86.
Convert the f71805f driver to use arrays of attributes. This shrinks the
compiled module from 12.0 kB to 9.6 kB. We certainly should do the same
for as many hardware monitoring drivers as possible.
This, together with a nice chip design by Fintek, makes this driver
very small, both in terms of number of lines of code and memory
consumption.

We can let non possible cpus percpu data point to this 'redzone' instead of
NULL .
NULL was not a good choice because part of [0..32768] memory may be
readable and invalid accesses may happen unnoticed.
If CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA is not defined, each non possible cpu points to
the initial percpu data (__per_cpu_offset[cpu] == 0), thus invalid accesses
wont be detected/crash.
