  • Mechanism of selecting physical mode in genapic when cpu hotplug is enabled on
    x86_64, broke the quirk(quirk_intel_irqbalance()) introduced for working
    around the transposing interrupt message errata in E7520/E7320/E7525 (revision
    ID 0x9 and below. errata #23 in
    http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf).

    This errata requires the mode to be in logical flat, so that interrupts can be
    directed to more than one cpu(and thus use hardware IRQ balancing enabled by
    BIOS on these platforms).

    Following four patches fixes this by moving the quirk to early quirk and
    forcing the x86_64 genapic selection to logical flat on these platforms.

    Thanks to Shaohua for pointing out the breakage.

    This patch:

    Add write_pci_config_byte() to direct PCI access routines

  • 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!
