  • Enable userspace to receive messages that a BMC transmits using an OEM
    medium. This is used by the HP iLO2.

    Based on code originally written by Patrick Schoeller.

  • The IPMI driver would attempt to use the event buffer even if that
    didn't exist on the BMC. This patch modified the IPMI driver to check
    for the event buffer's existence before trying to use it.

  • The IPMI BT subdriver has been patched to survive "long busy" timeouts seen
    during firmware upgrades and resets. The patch never returns the HOSED state,
    synthesizes response messages with meaningful completion codes, and recovers
    gracefully when the hardware finishes the long busy. The subdriver now issues
    a "Get BT Capabilities" command and properly uses those results. More
    informative completion codes are returned on error from transaction starts;
    this logic was propogated to the KCS and SMIC subdrivers. Finally, indent and
    other style quirks were normalized.

  • Some commands and operations on a BMC can cause the BMC to "go away" for a
    while. This can cause the automatic flag processing and other things of that
    nature to timeout and generate annoying logs, or possibly cause other bad
    things to happen when in firmware update mode.

    Add detection of those commands (cold reset, warm reset, and any firmware
    command) and turns off automatic processing for 30 seconds. It also add a
    manual override either way.

  • Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver. It links in the proper
    bus and device support.

    It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the
    driver (as a device). These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory.
    If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should
    discover this and will only have one BMC entry. The BMC entry will have
    pointers to each interface device that connects to it.

    The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been
    ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later.

    This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou. I basically rewrote it using
    that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :).

  • 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!
