[ltp] [ANN] tp_smapi 0.30

Hi,

Here's a new relelease of the tp_smapi package, addressing the T42
battery dump EC hang discussed in linux-thinkpad and a few other
issues.

---------------------
Visible changes:
- Makefile: now supports kernels built with separate source and build
  directories (thanks to Lenz Grimmer).
  To work against against some kernel installed under /lib/modules/
  add an appropriate KVER= parameter:
  # make patch KVER=2.6.16-rc2
  If it's not installed you'll need to set KSRC and KBUILD too:
  # make patch KVER=2.6.16-rc2 KSRC=$HOME/2.6.16-rc2 \
           KBUILD=$HOME/2.6.16-rc2
- Changed the format of /sys/devices/platform/smapi/smapi_request
  (no more register names).

Internal changes:
- tp_smapi: the 'dump' sysfs attribute now outputs only rows 0x00 through 0x0a,
  since 0x0b causes an EC hang on some firmware (e.g., all T42 and old T43).
  Thanks to Henrique and Sukant for tracking this down!
- thinkpad_ec: Log a warning if 0x161F returns 0x80.
- thinkpad_ec: Increase TPC_REQUEST_RETRIES
- thinkpad_ec: Report row args upon data read error.
- hdaps: Apply hwmon-hdaps-handle-errors-from-input-register-device.patch
  from -mm.
