This one was discussed mostly on the ARM mailing-list and finally made his way
to the mainline kernel. Though it lacks some functions to change for instance
a entire GPIO line and not a single bit, it is used on ARM and MIPS systems
so I would conform with this one for now because it is used by at least two
or more architectures.
