[PATCH] hwmon: Add sysfs interface for individual alarm files

Extend the sysfs interface of hardware monitoring chips, by adding
individual alarm and beep files. Contrary to the old aggregated "alarms"
and "beeps" files, individual files constitute a standard way to access
the status information, making it finally possible to implement a
chip-independant hardware monitoring chip access library (once all
drivers have been added this new interface, that is.)

If future drivers need more individual files, the interface will be
extended as needed at the same time these drivers are merged into the
kernel tree.
