The first step toward turning viafb into a multifunction driver. This
patch creates a new via-core.c file which serves as the main PCI driver;
everything else comes below that. Some work has been done to rationalize
the i2c drivers in this new scheme.

Ugh, I really hope you introduce those only as temporary exports until
the split is finished. It's ugly enough that viafb uses these internally
as global variables which will vanish in some time but for a
multifunction driver having those sounds even more ridiculous. If we
agree that it's only a temporary solution I'll take this bitter pill.

I think the initialization of the lock that is made for synchronization
of hardware access should be in the via-core.c you just introduce. (and
the lock itself in a structure or something outside the framebuffer
flow). Just saw that you did so in your next patch, so there is no
reason to needlessly introduce the spinlock now.
Thanks,
