[Arm-netbook] Port to 2.6.39.4 WIP

Hi! I'm more than half way done porting the Allwinner A10 kernel code to a newer kernel release; 2.6.39.4. I am making changes to the code only when necessary and trying to keep things as close to upstream as possible, making future updates easier and less of a hassle. I was wondering if it would be OK to push the changes into the custom head I have created; lichee/for-next, that way at least developers can look it over and make more changes where necessary. I'm also removing an absolutely insane amount of whitespace at the same time during the port, along with a lot of code clean-up.

While all of this may be great news, there is one problem... None of this code can be tested atm. I was wondering if I could post the patch up anyway, that way developers such as myself, could work with cleaner, nicer, and newer code when the boards start really moving.

If anybody has any objections before I push the code into lichee/for-next, thinks it's a waste of time, pointless due to no testing, or just not interesting, let me know. Thanks!

...I have way too much time on my hands.....
