2009-04-02sgi-gru: remove SGI_GRU as a valid config option for ia64 configs with SGI_UVRobin Holt
Some current configs turn on GRU for ia64. The GRU code does not correctly load on boot on ia64 (GRU does continue to work for x86-64), so changing the IA64 Kconfig to not select GRU on ia64 configs for now until we have time to fix.

2009-04-02memory_accessor: implement the new memory_accessor interface for I2C EEPROMKevin Hilman
In the case of at24, the platform code registers a 'setup' callback with the at24_platform_data. When the at24 driver detects an EEPROM, it fills out the read and write functions of the memory_accessor and calls the setup callback passing the memory_accessor struct. The platform code can then use the read/write functions in the memory_accessor struct for reading and writing the EEPROM.

2009-04-01hpilo: reduce frequency of IO operationsDavid Altobelli
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.

A missing type cast results in writing way beyond the end of a kzalloc()'d memory segment resulting in slab corruption.

2009-02-05hpilo: open/close fixDavid Altobelli
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.

2009-01-15sgi-xp: eliminate false detection of no heartbeatDean Nelson
After XPC has been up and running on multiple partitions for any length of time, if XPC on one of the partitions is stopped and restarted (either by a rmmod/insmod or a system restart), it is possible for the XPCs running on the other partitions to falsely detect a lack of heartbeat from the XPC that was just restarted. This false detection will occur if the restarted XPC comes up within the five-seconds preceding one of the other XPC's heartbeat check (which occurs once every twenty seconds). The detection of no heartbeat results in the detecting XPC deactivating from the just restarted XPC. The only remedy is to restart one of the XPCs and hope that one doesn't hit this five-second window on any of the other partitions.
