There's another issue I see with this patch. It effectively changes
the pin's direction behind the back of the GPIOLIB. If a GPIO is
requested, its direction set to output and another orthogonal user
requests the same pin as input, we'll never update the FLAG_IS_OUT
value and I don't think any subsequent behavior can be considered
defined.

I applied the first 3 patches as they look alright.
