d772e9d510 hm2: let the watchdog sleep until we access the board for the first time 
Before this commit, the watchdog used to run all the time, starting when
the llio driver was loaded.  Since it can take a while between loading
the driver and running pet_watchdog() the first time, the watchdog needed
a stupidly long timeout (1 second by default).

This commit changes the watchdog to be asleep when the llio driver loads,
and be woken up the first time you access the board by calling any of the
hm2 read(), write(), or pet_watchdog() functions in HAL.  Once you wake
the watchdog up you need to keep petting it (by calling pet_watchdog())
or it will bite, just like before.

This lets us decrease the default watchdog timeout to something much
shorter, just a few times the expected servo period.  I chose 5 ms
as the default, but just like before you can change it by setting the
watchdog.timeout_ns parameter any time you want.

Thanks to Jeff Epler for suggesting this improvement.

a4f10e63e9 Merge branch 'v2.5_branch' 
The 1034gecko.ini file was accidentally added in both 2.4 and master.
The version in the 2.4 branch then got modified by subsequent commits,
but the version in master didn't.  The 2.4 branch was merged into 2.5,
and this commit merges 2.5 into master, causing a conflict with the
1034gecko.ini.  I resolved the conflict by consulting with the author,
Matt Shaver, and the current setup is what he wants (for now, more
commits coming, i think).

44586b831e pid: accept external command-deriv, feedback-deriv 
One problem frequently identified with pid is that the D term is
excessively noisy due to quantization (particularly of feedback position).

Introduce command-deriv and feedback-deriv pins.  These can be connected
to some (hopefully superior) source of the derivative.  For example, a
system with an analog tach signal in hal could use that value for
feedback-deriv.  It also becomes easier to test different derivative
computation functions, such as explicit smoothing of the D term or
the five-point method mentioned on wikipedia
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation#Higher_order_methods

Zero, one, or both of the -deriv pins may be connected.  When a -deriv
pin is not connected, the  related value input is computed by the
traditional two-point difference method.  This means that when neither
pin is connected the behavior is the same as before (except for rounding
differences).

41c8ee3e19 Fix hm2 stepgen.enable=0 behavior 
This commit fixes SF#2985881 "stepgen bug in hostmot2".

This commit changes the hm2 stepgen.enable behavior.  When .enable is
true it behaves like before, but now when .enable is False it behaves
like this instead:

    No steps are generated (if the stepgen was moving at the time enable
    went false it stops immediately, without obeying the maxaccel limit).

    .velocity-fb goes immediately to 0.

This makes it so that when .enable later becomes true again, no abrupt
motion takes place.

[This is a combination of the following two commits from master:

da68626985 Don't change hm2 stepgen position when .enable is low 
This commit makes the hm2 stepgen *not* change its .counts and
.position-fb pins when .enable is low.

When emc2 disables a stepgen (for example when the user hits E-stop,
or when the joint ferrors), it copies the joint's position-fb to its
position-cmd, to avoid abrupt motion when the joint is enabled again.
Therefore my previous commit, which made the stepgen count and position-fb
track the position-cmd from emc2, was redundant and potentially risky.

Thanks to Jeff Epler for setting me straight on this.

7058bc071c add a spindle speed output which is in revolutions per second 
revolutions per second is more sensible, because it lets the scale
(e.g., of a stepgen being used in velocity mode) be 1 = 1 revolution,
rather than 1 = 1/60 revolution

d68a34e48b This improves the hm2 stepgen - less position& velocity hunting. 
Also makes hm2's stepgen.position-fb have sub-step resolution (like the
sw stepgen does).

5ed7308d06 This commit contains a GPIO rename that breaks configs!! 
Only configs that monkey with the GPIOs are affected (that's you, cradek);
all other configs will work without change.

Before this, GPIOs had names like "hm2_5i22.0.gpio.P5.095", with
the connector name and the IO number.  Now, GPIOs have names like
"hm2_5i22.0.gpio.095" (ie, without the connector name, with just the
IO number).

The mapping between IO number and (connector and pin-on-that-connector)
is shown at driver load-time (even without messing with the debug level!),
and it's also printed in Mesa's Anything I/O board manuals.

14e0fc0b2b This makes the pwmgen support in hostmot2 feature complete. 
Supports PWM & Dir, Up & Down, PDM & Dir, and Dir & PWM ("for locked antiphase").

    No known bugs at this time :-)

55762d3219 This checkin fixes the pwmgen problem reported by Eric Johnson 
(cut-n-paste error).

Adds a pwmgen.frequency parameter, so the user can control the pwm
frequency.

Fixes a buglet in watchdog initialization error handling.

Turns off an annoying stepgen debug message.

Fixed stepgen.stepspace, it was not getting set correctly on the FPGA.

    Fixed stepgen.position-fb, it was not getting set reported correctly
    to HAL.

    Added stepgen.maxvel.

    Added raw.dump_state, a way to cause hostmot2 to dump its internal
    state to the syslog for debugging.

Report firmware timestamp when loading.

Improved config string parsing.

c2844b87c1 Low-level driver may now export a "threadsafe" flag, which if set causes 
the hostmot2 driver to export (on their behalf) a pair of functions
called read_gpio and write_gpio.  These do just what you'd think.

91559c0292 Release 0.3 of the hostmot2 driver. 
* This adds a Raw mode, which lets the user peek & poke the HM2
      firmware registers from HAL.  This is disabled by default but the
      user can enable it with a load-time modparam.

    * Better load-time initialization of gpios.

    * Added some debug HAL pins to the stepgen module.
