This modifies the IPMI driver so that a lower-level interface can be dynamically removed while in use so it can support hot-removal of hardware. It also adds the ability to specify and dynamically change the IPMI interface the watchdog timer and the poweroff code use.

Pass in the sysfs name from the lower-level IPMI driver, as the coming IPMI serial driver will need that to link properly from the serial device sysfs directory.

Remove the arbitrary limit of number of IPMI interfaces. This has been tested with 8 interfaces. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <minyard@acm.org> Cc: Carol Hebert <cah@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Add the product id to the driver model platform device name, in addition to the device id. The IPMI spec does not require that individual BMCs in a system have unique devices IDs, but it does require that the product id/device id combination be unique. This also removes a redundant check and cleans up error handling when the sysfs registration fails.

Sometimes the kernel prints something interesting while userspace bootup keeps messages turned off via loglevel. Enable the printing of /all/ kernel messages via the "ignore_loglevel" boot option.

The hash_lock must only ever be taken with irqs disabled. This happens in all the important places, except one codepath: register_lock_class(). The race should trigger rarely because register_lock_class() is quite rare and single-threaded (happens during init most of the time). The fix is to disable irqs. ( bug found live in -rt: there preemption is alot more agressive and preempting with the hash-lock held caused a lockup.)

Remove the ki_retried member from struct kiocb. I think the idea was bounced around a while back, but Arnaldo pointed out another reason that we should dig it up when he pointed out that the last cacheline of struct kiocb only contains 4 bytes. By removing the debugging member, we save more than the 8 byte on 64 bit machines.

io_submit_one assigns ki_left = ki_nbytes = iocb->aio_nbytes, then calls down to aio_setup_iocb, then to aio_setup_single_vector. In there, ki_nbytes is reassigned to the same value it got two call stack above it. There is no need to do so.

The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several architectures. This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code. The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.

Twenty characters in cp936 are not correctly handled. They're all in the U00 plane. nls_cp936 converts all U00XY to XY but this is not correct for some characters.(e.g. U00B7 -> A1A4, U00A8 -> A1A7). This problem is fixed by generating u2c_00 based on all c2u_xx and changing uni2char() to give U00 plane a special handling. The "â¬"(U20AC,80 in cp936) is also be handled properly.

When disassembling a kernel I found around over 90 sync Instructions from mb, rmb and wmb calls in the kernel and only few of those make any sense to me. So here's the first one - I think the wmb() in kernel/futex.c is not needed on uniprocessors so should become an smb_wmb().

Fix compile errors on mismatch between generic HDLC and synclink drivers. Notes: generic HDLC support for synclink drivers is *optional* so you can't just use depend on in Kconfig This solution is deemed the best after 7 months of review and criticism by many developers including AKPM.

This patch removes the unused NFSD_OPTIMIZE_SPACE. Additionally, it does differently what NFSD_OPTIMIZE_SPACE was supposed to do: Nowadays, gcc knows best when to inline code, and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE even tells gcc globally whether to optimize for size or for speed. Therefore, this patch also removes all inline's from these files.

"extern inline" generates a warning with -Wmissing-prototypes and I'm currently working on getting the kernel cleaned up for adding this to the CFLAGS since it will help us to avoid a nasty class of runtime errors.
