fadbfc38dd hpilo: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].

For this particular case, it is important to notice that the cachelines
change from 7 to 6 after the flexible-array conversion:

$ pahole -C 'fifo' drivers/misc/hpilo.o
struct fifo {
	u64                        nrents;               /*     0     8 */
	u64                        imask;                /*     8     8 */
	u64                        merge;                /*    16     8 */
	u64                        reset;                /*    24     8 */
	u8                         pad_0[96];            /*    32    96 */
	/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
	u64                        head;                 /*   128     8 */
	u8                         pad_1[120];           /*   136   120 */
	/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */
	u64                        tail;                 /*   256     8 */
	u8                         pad_2[120];           /*   264   120 */
	/* --- cacheline 6 boundary (384 bytes) --- */
	u64                        fifobar[1];           /*   384     8 */

	/* size: 392, cachelines: 7, members: 10 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};

$ pahole -C 'fifo' drivers/misc/hpilo.o
struct fifo {
	u64                        nrents;               /*     0     8 */

	u64                        fifobar[];            /*   384     0 */

	/* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 10 */
};

Lastly, remove unnecessary parentheses in fifo_sz() and fix the following
checkpatch.pl warning for the whole fifo structure:

cdf8afca24 hpilo: fix pointer warning in ilo_ccb_setup
Fix i386 PAE compile warning:

drivers/misc/hpilo.c: In function `ilo_ccb_setup':
drivers/misc/hpilo.c:274: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

dma_addr_t is 64 on i386 PAE which causes a size mismatch.

9f70484121 hpilo: add interrupt handler
Add interrupt handler to hpilo.  This is enablement for poll handler,
and it also simplifies the logic for handling an iLO reset, because now
only the interrupt handler needs to look for reset, the file system
interfaces only need to return failure when a reset has happened.

891f7d73ea hpilo: reduce frequency of IO operations
Change hpilo open and close logic to spin for 10usec between checking device,
rather than every usec.

Because the loop is coded to take up to 10ms, it seemed prudent to
increase the interval between polling the device, to reduce the load on
the system and allow more other work to happen.

c073b2db00 hpilo: open/close fix
The device can take a while to respond to an open/close request, so
increase the time kernel will wait for response (1 ms to 10ms).

Also, properly clean up a channel on a failed open, by calling the channel
close routine.  Just freeing the memory isn't sufficient, the device needs
to be informed that the channel is no longer open, and the device memory
cleared of references to freed dma buffer.

89bcb05d9b HP iLO driver
A driver for the HP iLO/iLO2 management processor, which allows userspace
programs to query the management processor.  Programs can open a channel
to the device (/dev/hpilo/dXccbN), and use this to send/receive queries.  
The O_EXCL open flag is used to indicate that a particular channel cannot
be shared between processes.  This driver will replace various packages
HP has shipped, including hprsm and hp-ilo.
