thanks ben... investigating further:

# PCI GPIO expanders:
#
CONFIG_GPIO_CS5535=y
# CONFIG_GPIO_LANGWELL is not set
CONFIG_GPIO_PCH=m
CONFIG_GPIO_ML_IOH=m
# CONFIG_GPIO_RDC321X is not set

bizarre.  so why the heck is.... i think it's changed quite a lot from
2.6.32, no major-minor numbers any more, to a generic GPIO interface
which i've not yet understood/tracked down.

so yes, more work to do but at least a route to investigate.  thanks ben.
