  • The SGI PCI-RT card, based on the SGI IOC4 chip, will be made available on
    Altix XE (x86_64) platforms in the near future. As such it is now a
    misnomer for the IOC4 base device driver to live under drivers/sn, and
    would complicate builds for non-SN2.

    This patch moves the IOC4 base driver code from drivers/sn to drivers/misc,
    and updates the associated Makefiles and Kconfig files to allow building on
    non-SN2 configs. Due to the resulting change in link order, it is now
    necessary to use late_initcall() for IOC4 subdriver initialization.

  • Create a driver to support the platform-specific features
    of MSI S270 laptops (and maybe other MSI laptops).
    This driver implements a backlight device for controlling LCD brightness
    (/sys/class/backlight/msi-laptop-bl/).
    In addition it allows access to the WLAN and Bluetooth states
    through a platform driver (/sys/devices/platform/msi-laptop-pf/).

  • A simple module to test Linux Kernel Dump mechanism. This module uses
    jprobes to install/activate pre-defined crash points. At different crash
    points, various types of crashing scenarios are created like a BUG(),
    panic(), exception, recursive loop and stack overflow. The user can
    activate a crash point with specific type by providing parameters at the
    time of module insertion. Please see the file header for usage
    information. The module is based on the Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool by
    Fernando .

    This module could be merged with mainline. Jprobes is used here so that the
    context in which crash point is hit, could be maintained. This implements
    all the crash points as done by LKDTT except the one in the middle of
    tasklet_action().

  • 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!
