Here is a device driver for the IBM xSeries RSA service processor.
The ibmasm driver is mainly intended to be used in conjunction with a user space
API and systems management applications that need to get in-band access to
the service processor, such as sending commands or waiting for events.
For the remote video feature the driver relays remote mouse and keyboard
events to user space.
By itself the driver also allows the OS to make use the UART on the service
processor board as a regular serial line.

The user interface to the driver is a custom file system. It does not use sysfs since
the operations on the files are somewhat beyond the one file / one value rule for sysfs.
Since it is not strictly a char driver I put it into the drivers/misc directory.

The patch is fairly big, therefore I split it up into the file system part and the
everything-else part.

Here is the non-filesystem part:

fix x86_64 build for sys_device_register rename

into kroah.com:/home/greg/linux/BK/driver-2.6

Since we do push/pops, a stack-based memory argument would
do the wrong thing by using the wrong offsets.

The x86-64 implementation of csum-partial.c causes it to compute the
checksum incorrectly.

As a result, multicast doesn't work.  It looks as though iptables is
also affected.

Here's a simple patch.

This patch is the first of several planned fixes for the cyclades
multiserial cards driver.

Its mostly a sync with in-house driver:

- Prevent users from opening non-existing Z ports
- Implement special XON/XOFF character handling in Z cards
- Prevent data-loss on Z cards
- Throttling fix for Z card
- Only throttle if CTS/RTS are set
- Fix accounting of received data

Kudos to Cyclades R&D

PRD_ENTRIES is specified to be precisely 256; on platforms where
PAGE_SIZE varies from 4KB the calculation in the current expression
defining it is inaccurate, which may cause crashes. This patch changes
it to the constant literal 256.

Use sector_t for the block number.

Noticed by Marcel Cotta <mc123@mail.ru>.

ide_init() always initializes system_bus_speed variable
so system_bus_clock() should never call ide_system_bus_speed()
and no driver is calling ide_system_bus_speed() directly.

Bug was that if no IDE kernel parameter was given during boot
system_bus_speed will be zeroed in init_ide_data().

This patch should fix the problem
(as a bonus -> no need to zero these variables they are static).

Add UDMA6 support to ALi PCI IDE driver.
Forward port from 2.4 and a patch from ALi.

Was in -mm for a long time...

Fix from jgarzik's sata_sil.c libata driver.

This was in -mm for a long time...

This switches alpha to use drivers/Kconfig instead of including most of
files included by drivers/Kconfig, thus enabling previously omitted i2c
(already used in some drivers available on alpha) and telephony drivers.

Because drivers/message/fusion/Kconfig was included only conditionally
("if PCI"), this patch also changes CONFIG_FUSION to depend on PCI.

(these changes were consulted with Christoph Hellwig in "i2c on alpha
- used but not available in 2.6.3" thread on LKML)

arm-26, ppc, sparc, sparc64 and sh have per-arch definitions of
__cacheline_aligned that are identical to default.  And yes, removal is
safe - all users of __cacheline_aligned actually pull linux/cache.h in.

We put ____cacheline_aligned things in their own section, simply
because we waste less space that way.  Otherwise we end up padding
innocent variables to the next cacheline to get the required
alignment.

There's no reason not to do this in modules, too.

	Removes gratitious ifdefs - get_nodes() is only called from __init
and by itself, check_space() is only called by get_nodes(), so they can
be made unconditionally __init.

Use KERN_DEBUG in all debugging printk() output.

This patch originally from the kernel janitors.

Fix interrupt handler return types to be irqreturn_t.

Remove non-existent config option from defconfig.

I goofed in my last patch to this code..
It reported 1 less CPU than it should have. Doh.

Export scaling_available_frequencies on the remaining
x86 freq_table-based cpufreq drivers. powernow-k7, acpi and speedstep-centrino
are already queued.
                                                                                                       
Please note that this cannot be done in the cpufreq core as the cpufreq core
tries very hard to be independent of the freq_table helpers. 

From: Kronos <kronos at kronoz.cjb.net>
 
The following patch make powernow-k7.c export supported frequencies via
sysfs. I'm trying to write a scaling deamon and I need to know them.

List all entries in arch/$(ARCH)/configs/*_defconfig when doing 'make
help'.

Results in output like this (ppc64 as example):

  g5_defconfig             - Build for g5
  pSeries_defconfig        - Build for pSeries

The implementation is generic and enables this for all users of _defconfig.
