Adding pulse support to gpio(4), gpioctl(8)



The attached diff adds the ability to pulse a pin with a set frequency
and duty cycle.  A new gpio(4) ioctl, "GPIOPULSE", and a new gpioctl(8)
command line option "pulse" are added.

Whereas the gpioctl(8) command line utility accepts the freqeuncy in
hertz and the duty cycle in percent, these values are converted to two
"struct timeval"s for the ioctl call.  gpio(4) accepts an "on" and "off"
period as "struct timeval" which are then converted to ticks using
tvtohz(9).

The pulsing in software is realised using callout(9)s, if the underlying
hardware signals that it can pulse the pin in hardware, the pin is just
set to GPIO_PIN_HIGH and no callouts are used.  There is no way at the
moment to program the "on" and "off" periods for pins that pulse in
hardware (implementing that is left as an exercise to the reader...)

Comments?
