  • This has been broken since May 2008 when Al Viro killed altroot support.
    Since nobody has complained, it would appear that there are no users of
    this code (A plausible theory since the main OSVs that support ia64 prefer
    to use the IA32-EL software emulation).

  • Now that all EEPROM drivers live in the same place, let's harmonize
    their symbol names.

    Also fix eeprom's dependencies, it definitely needs sysfs, and is no
    longer experimental after many years in the kernel tree.

  • PNP and PNPACPI turned on

    i8042 recently changed from ACPI to PNP detection. Without PNP, it
    probes legacy I/O ports for the keyboard controller, which causes an
    MCA on HP boxes.

    Also, I'm about to remove 8250_acpi.c, so we'll need PNP to detect
    non-PCI serial ports. Until 8250_acpi.c is removed, some systems
    will see serial ports reported twice (once from 8250_acpi.c and again
    from 8250_pnp.c). This is harmless.

    PNPACPI is still marked EXPERIMENTAL, but I'm not aware of any
    outstanding issues on ia64.

    IDE_GENERIC turned off (except for SGI simulator, all ia64 IDE is PCI)

    ide-generic probes compiled-in legacy I/O ports for IDE devices, which
    again causes an MCA. It would be nicer to just get rid of all the
    legacy junk from include/asm-ia64/ide.h, but that is a bit riskier
    because it could break ide-cs and the HDIO_REGISTER_HWIF ioctl
    (http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0508.2/0049.html).

    Here's the essence of the patch:

    -# CONFIG_PNP is not set
    +CONFIG_PNP=y
    +CONFIG_PNPACPI=y

    -CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y
    +# CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC is not set

    Tested on tiger, bigsur, and zx1.

  • Delete the ability to build an ACPI kernel that does
    not include PCI support. When such a machine is created
    and it requires a tuned kernel, send a patch.

  • Build issues were mostly in the ACPI=n case -- don't do that.
    Select ACPI from IA64_GENERIC.
    Add some missing dependencies on ACPI.

    Mark BLACKLIST_YEAR and some laptop-only ACPI drivers
    as X86-only. Let me know when you get an IA64 Laptop.

  • 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!
