  • 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.

  • Pass in the sysfs name from the lower-level IPMI driver, as the coming IPMI
    serial driver will need that to link properly from the serial device sysfs
    directory.

  • Matt Domsch noticed a startup race with the IPMI kernel thread, it was
    possible (though extraordinarly unlikely) that a message could come in
    before the upper layer was ready to handle it. This patch splits the
    startup processing of an IPMI interface into two parts, one to get ready
    and one to actually start the processes to receive messages from the
    interface.

  • 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!
