733482e445 [PATCH] changing CONFIG_LOCALVERSION rebuilds too much, for no good reason
This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h.  The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.

A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.

There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched.  In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'`

search pattern:
/UTS_RELEASE\|LINUX_VERSION_CODE\|KERNEL_VERSION\|linux\/\(utsname\|version\).h

274b69335d [PATCH] dell_rbu: Adding BIOS memory floor support
This patch has the changes to support the memory floor fix done in Dell
BIOS.  The BIOS incase of packet update mechanism would not accept packet
placed in memory below a cretain address.  This address is by default 128K
but can change.  The driver now can accept the memory floor if the user
chooses to make it will try to allocate contiguous physical memory above
the memory floor by allocating a set of packets till a valid memory
allocation is made.  All the allocates then are freed.  This repeats for
everty packet.

This patch was created by Michael E Brown and has been tested on 2.6.14-rc5

ad6ce87e5b [PATCH] dell_rbu: changes in packet update mechanism
In the current dell_rbu code ver 2.0 the packet update mechanism makes the
user app dump every individual packet in to the driver.

This adds in efficiency as every packet update makes the
/sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading and data files to disappear and reappear
again.  Thus the user app needs to wait for the files to reappear to dump
another packet.  This slows down the packet update tremendously in case of
large number of packets.  I am submitting a new patch for dell_rbu which will
change the way we do packet updates;

In the new method the user app will create a new single file which has already
packetized the rbu image and all the packets are now staged in this file.

This driver also creates a new entry in
/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size ; the user needs to echo the packet
size here before downloading the packet file.

The user should do the following:

 create one single file which has all the packets stacked together.
 echo the packet size in to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size.
 echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
 cat the packetfile > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data
 echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading

The driver takes the file which came through /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data
and takes chunks of paket_size data from it and place in contiguous memory.

This makes packet update process very efficient and fast.  As all the packet
update happens in one single operation.  The user can still read back the
downloaded file from /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data.

e61c0e336f [PATCH] dell_rbu: enhancements and fixes
BUG fixes:

  The driver used to allocate memory with spinlock held which has been
  fixed in this patch.

  The driver was printing the entire buffer when it received a invalid
  entry in image_type.  The fix is to only print a warning message and not
  the buffer.

Usability enhancements:

  It is possible that due to user error the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu
  entries might be missing, this can happen if the user does the following

	echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
	echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading

  This will make the entries in /sys/class/firmware/ to disappear and the
  only way get them back was bby unloading and loading the driver.

  This patch makes the user recreate these entries by echoing init in to
  image_type.

This patch has been tested with Libsmbios and Dell OpenManage.

66b7f8a304 [IA64-SGI] pcdp: add PCDP pci interface support
Resend 2 with changes per Bjorn Helgaas comments.  Changes from original:

+ Change globals to vga_console_iobase/vga_console_membase and make them
  unconditional.
+ Address style-related comments.

Patch to extend the PCDP vga setup code to support PCI io/mem translations
for the legacy vga ioport and ram spaces on architectures (e.g. altix) which
need them.

Summary of the changes:

drivers/firmware/pcdp.c
drivers/firmware/pcdp.h
-----------------------
+ add declaration for the spec-defined PCI interface struct (pcdp_if_pci)
  as well as support macros.

+ extend setup_vga_console() to know about pcdp_if_pci and add a couple of
  globals to hold the io and mem translation offsets if present.

arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c
------------------------
+ tweek early_console_setup() to allow multiple early console setup routines
  to be called.

include/asm-ia64/vga.h
----------------------
+ make VGA_MAP_MEM vga_console_membase aware

280dedb8d6 [PATCH] PCDP: handle tables that don't supply baud rate
The HCDP specs (i.e., PCDP revision < 3) allow zero as a default value for
baud rate and data bits.  So if firmware doesn't supply them, let
early_serial_console_init() probe for them rather than telling it the baud
rate is zero.

Also, update the URL for the PCDP spec.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
