Sometimes (expecially in cross-compilation context) t is necessary to use
different environments. Instead of complicate this makefile, include
an external one with user code.

Create a local file named Makefile.specific, and write here your code.
Bear in mind that Makefile.specific will run before the Makefile.

    Note by Federico Vaga <federico.vaga@cern.ch>
        This is not exactly the same set of patches from
        garcialasheras <javier@garcialasheras.com>. I did few modification
        in order to:

        - do not introduce new dependecies. Vendor and Device ID are constant
          for life, so we can safely write them two times and avoid a file
          dependencies between kernel and userspace code.

        - squash FIX patches in 1d8bb157. There were consecutive patches where
          the FIX patch just fix the previous patch, so squash them. This will
          produce an useful git-blame and bit-bisect

        - una patch for each behavioral modification

Before this patch, on spec_check_id() error spec_scan() returns that it
found a SPEC, but it is not true.

Protecting the handlers' vector is not enough. Managing the interrupts
involves other tasks that must be serialized. Mainly to handle the first
request and the last free of a VIC handler.

The VIC internal locking (vec_lock) is not useful anymore, but I do not
remove it because theoretically the VIC should be an independent bunch of
code.

When possible, avoid statement-scope variable for a better maintanability
of the code.

The spec->irq_lock is a SPEC spinlock, but we must protect VIC variables.
In order to make the VIC code independent, use a dedicated VIC spinlock

On spec driver remove, do not clean-up VIC stuff. The VIC should be cleaned
by the mezzanine driver when it release all its handlers (see patch f7ee35460).
Just leave a reminder for driver developer when something goes wrong.

Interrupt resources are not properly released. Mainly two problems:

  1. on IRQ free the driver was using the IRQ number instead of the the
     component base address. So, the component IRQ handlers were never
     released

  2. on IRQ free, supposing that the first problem was not there, when
     all component's IRQ handlers were released the PCI IRQ handler (VIC
     dispatcher) should have released, but it was not. In consequence of this
     even if the driver was removed an interrupt can be handled by a
     ghost handler.

The main reason to introduce this EXTRACFLAGS variable is to allow people

This is needed so the gennum core (as opposed to the gennum chip)
can access the SPI flash from the newly-programmed fpga image.
With this gpio setting, both the lm32 from inside the fpga
and the host computer can read and write the flash device.

Now we can properly have spec.ko drive a carrier with no mezzanine.
We can then use tools/spec-fwloader and do other mezzanine-independent
things.
