[PATCH] export platform_add_devices
platform_add_devices can be used from within modules, so it should be
exported. This can for example happen if you have hotpluggable firmware in
an FPGA on a system on chip processor; in our case the FPGA is probed for
devices and the FPGA base code registers the devices it has found with the
kernel.
(akpm: I think this is reasonable from a licensing POV: it's unlikely that
anyone would be interested in merging such specialised modules into mainline,
and it's a GPL export).

Here we add a TIMEOUT value to the hotplug environment of the firmware
requesting event. I will adapt udevd not to wait for anything else, if
it finds a TIMEOUT key.

[PATCH] sparc64: Fix stat
Like Alpha, sparc64's struct stat was defined before we had the
nanosecond et al. fields added. So like Alpha I have to cons up a
struct stat64 to get this stuff. I'll work on the glibc bits soon.
Also, we were forgetting to fill in the nanosecond fields in the sparc
compat stat64 syscalls.
