Calling regcache_exit from regcache_lzo_init is first of all a layering
violation and secondly will cause double frees. regcache_exit will free buffers
allocated by the core, but the core will also free the same buffers when the
cacheops init callback returns an error. Thus we end up with a double free.
Fix this by not calling regcache_exit but only free those buffers which, have
been allocated in this function.

Users probably don't care about the specific compression algorithm and
we might want to use a different algorithm (snappy being the one I'm
thinking of right now) so update the public interface to have a more
generic name.

Give regcache_lzo_block_count() a copy of the map so that when we decide
we want to make the LZO cache more controllable we can more easily do so.

If a register isn't cached then let callers know that so they can fall
back or error handle appropriately.

This patch adds support for LZO compression when storing the register
cache.
For a typical device whose register map would normally occupy 25kB or 50kB
by using the LZO compression technique, one can get down to ~5-7kB. There
might be a performance penalty associated with each individual read/write
due to decompressing/compressing the underlying cache, however that should not
be noticeable. These memory benefits depend on whether the target architecture
can get rid of the memory occupied by the original register defaults cache
which is marked as __devinitconst. Nevertheless there will be some memory
gain even if the target architecture can't get rid of the original register
map, this should be around ~30-32kB instead of 50kB.
