This adds freefall handling to hp_accel driver. According to HP, it
should just work, without us having to set the chip up by hand.hpfall.c is example .c program that parks the disk when accelerometer
detects free fall. It should work; for now, it uses fixed 20seconds

Impact: prevents confusing the user when buffer size is inadequate
The tracing framework offers a resizeable buffer, which mmiotrace uses
to record events. If the buffer is full, the following events will be
lost. Events should not be lost, so the documentation instructs the user
to increase the buffer size. The buffer size is set via a debugfs file.Mmiotrace documentation was not updated the same time the debugfs file
was changed. The old file was tracing/trace_entries and first contained
the number of entries the buffer had space for, per cpu. Nowadays this
file is replaced with the file tracing/buffer_size_kb, which tells the
amount of memory reserved for the buffer, per cpu, in kilobytes.Previously, a flag had to be toggled via the debugfs file
tracing/tracing_enabled when the buffer size was changed. This is no
longer necessary.The mmiotrace documentation is updated to reflect the current state of
the tracing framework.Signed-off-by: Pekka Paalanen

This UBIFS feature has never worked properly, and it was a mistake
to add it because we simply have no use-cases. So, lets still accept
