  • Add support in IA64 acpi for platforms that support more than
    256 nodes. Currently, ACPI is limited to 256 nodes because the
    proximity domain number is 8-bits.

    Long term, we expect to use ACPI3.0 to support >256 nodes.
    This patch is an interim solution that works with platforms
    that pass the high order bits of the proximity domain in
    "reserved" fields of the ACPI tables. This code is enabled
    ONLY on SN platforms.

  • Have a facility to account for potentially hot-pluggable CPUs. ACPI doesnt
    give a determinstic method to find hot-pluggable CPUs. Hence we use 2 methods
    to assist.

    - BIOS can mark potentially hot-pluggable CPUs as disabled in the MADT tables.
    - User can specify the number of hot-pluggable CPUs via parameter
    additional_cpus=X

    The option is enabled only if ACPI_CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y which enables the
    physical hotplug option. Without which user can still use logical onlining
    and offlining of CPUs by enabling CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y

    Adds more bits to cpu_possible_map for potentially hot-pluggable cpus.

  • Patch to support P-state transitions on ia64. This driver is based on ACPI,
    and uses the ACPI processor driver interface to find out the P-state support
    information for the processor. This driver plugs into generic cpufreq
    infrastructure.

    Once this driver is loaded successfully, ondemand/userspace governor can be
    used to change the CPU frequency dynamically based on load or on request from
    userspace process.

  • 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!
