  • The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
    is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
    only small devices.

    This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
    references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
    option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
    can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
    considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

    Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
    expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
    are making should enable it.

  • Both old-IDE and libata should be able handle all controllers and
    devices found using normal resource reservation methods.

    This eliminates the awful, low-performing split-driver configuration
    where old-IDE drove the PATA portion of a PCI device, in PIO-only mode,
    and libata drove the SATA portion of the /same/ PCI device, in DMA mode.
    Typically vendors would ship SATA hard drive / PATA optical
    configuration, which would lend itself to slow (PIO-only) CD-ROM
    performance.

    For Intel users running in combined mode, it is now wholly dependent on
    your driver choice (potentially link order, if you compile both drivers
    in) whether old-IDE or libata will drive your hardware.

    In either case, you will get full performance from both SATA and PATA
    ports now, without having to pass a kernel command line parameter.

  • Update b180_defconfig to be more usable on other similar machines.
    Enabling Lasi 82596, Harmony, Mux console, CCIO, HPPB, etc., means
    this config is suitable for not only BXXX machines, but also CXXX
    and JXXX class machines.

  • Remove legacy ISA serial ports for Accent, Boca, Fourport, Hub6 and MCA
    from the architecture specific serial.h include.

    The only ports which remain in asm-*/serial.h are the platform specific
    entries. These should really be converted by platform maintainers to
    use a platform device, such as can be found in
    arch/arm/mach-footbridge/isa.c

  • 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!
