4dec302ff7 ipmi: add oem message handling
Enable userspace to receive messages that a BMC transmits using an OEM
medium.  This is used by the HP iLO2.

Based on code originally written by Patrick Schoeller.

40112ae750 ipmi: test for event buffer before using
The IPMI driver would attempt to use the event buffer even if that
didn't exist on the BMC.  This patch modified the IPMI driver to check
for the event buffer's existence before trying to use it.

4d7cbac7c8 [PATCH] IPMI: Fix BT long busy
The IPMI BT subdriver has been patched to survive "long busy" timeouts seen
during firmware upgrades and resets.  The patch never returns the HOSED state,
synthesizes response messages with meaningful completion codes, and recovers
gracefully when the hardware finishes the long busy.  The subdriver now issues
a "Get BT Capabilities" command and properly uses those results.  More
informative completion codes are returned on error from transaction starts;
this logic was propogated to the KCS and SMIC subdrivers.  Finally, indent and
other style quirks were normalized.

b9675136e2 [PATCH] IPMI: Add maintenance mode
Some commands and operations on a BMC can cause the BMC to "go away" for a
while.  This can cause the automatic flag processing and other things of that
nature to timeout and generate annoying logs, or possibly cause other bad
things to happen when in firmware update mode.

Add detection of those commands (cold reset, warm reset, and any firmware
command) and turns off automatic processing for 30 seconds.  It also add a
manual override either way.

46d52b09fa [PATCH] IPMI: retry messages on certain error returns
Some more errors from the IPMI send message command are retryable, but are not
being retried by the IPMI code.  Make sure they get retried.

50c812b2b9 [PATCH] ipmi: add full sysfs support
Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver.  It links in the proper
bus and device support.

It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the
driver (as a device).  These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory.
 If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should
discover this and will only have one BMC entry.  The BMC entry will have
pointers to each interface device that connects to it.

The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been
ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later.

This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou.  I basically rewrote it using
that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :).

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
