2005-05-01[PATCH] ipmi: fix a deadlockCorey Minyard
Correct an issue with the IPMI message layer taking a lock and calling lower layer driver. If an error occrues at the lower layer the lock can be taken again causing a deadlock. The lock is released before calling the lower layer.

2005-05-01[PATCH] ipmi: enable interrupts on the BT driverCorey Minyard
Enable interrupts for a BT interface. There is a specific register that needs to be set up to enable interrupts that also must be modified to clear the irq. Also, don't reset the BMC on a BT interface. That's probably not a good idea as the BMC may be performing other important functions and a reset should only be a last resort. Also, that register is also used to enable/disable interrupts to the BT; modifying it may screw up the interrupts.

2005-05-01[PATCH] ipmi: fix watchdog so the device can be reopened on an unexpected closeCorey Minyard
If there is an unexpected close, still allow the watchdog interface to be re-opened on the IPMI watchdog. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <minyard@acm.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-05-01[PATCH] IPMI: fix for handling bad ACPI dataCorey Minyard
If the ACPI register bit width is zero (an invalid value) assume it is the default spacing. This avoids some coredumps on invalid data and makes some systems work that have broken ACPI data.

2005-05-01[PATCH] IPMI: fix for handling bad IPMI DMI dataCorey Minyard
Ignore the bottom bit of the base address from the DMI data. It is supposed to be set to 1 if it is I/O space. Few systems do this, but this enables the ones that do set it to work properly.

2005-05-01[PATCH] Change synchronize_kernel to _rcu and _schedPaul E. McKenney
This patch changes calls to synchronize_kernel(), deprecated in the earlier "Deprecate synchronize_kernel, GPL replacement" patch to instead call the new synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_sched() APIs.

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!
