  • This patch removes the MIC drivers from the kernel tree
    since the corresponding devices have been discontinued.

    Removing the dma and char-misc changes in one patch and
    merging via the char-misc tree is best to avoid any
    potential build breakage.

  • Rationale:
    Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
    as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

    Deterministic algorithm:
    For each file:
    For each line:
    If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
    For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
    If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
    return 200 OK and serve the same content:
    Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

  • This driver is a logical device which provides an
    interface between the hypervisor and a management
    partition. This interface is like a message
    passing interface. This management partition
    is intended to provide an alternative to HMC-based
    system management.

    VMC enables the Management LPAR to provide basic
    logical partition functions:
    - Logical Partition Configuration
    - Boot, start, and stop actions for individual
    partitions
    - Display of partition status
    - Management of virtual Ethernet
    - Management of virtual Storage
    - Basic system management

    This driver is to be used for the POWER Virtual
    Management Channel Virtual Adapter on the PowerPC
    platform. It provides a character device which
    allows for both request/response and async message
    support through the /dev/ibmvmc node.
