  • The SGI PCI-RT card, based on the SGI IOC4 chip, will be made available on
    Altix XE (x86_64) platforms in the near future. As such it is now a
    misnomer for the IOC4 base device driver to live under drivers/sn, and
    would complicate builds for non-SN2.

    This patch moves the IOC4 base driver code from drivers/sn to drivers/misc,
    and updates the associated Makefiles and Kconfig files to allow building on
    non-SN2 configs. Due to the resulting change in link order, it is now
    necessary to use late_initcall() for IOC4 subdriver initialization.

  • Add driver support for a 2 port PCI IOC3-based serial card on Altix boxes:

    This is a re-submission. On the original submission I was asked to
    organize the code so that the MIPS ioc3 ethernet and serial parts could be
    used with this driver. Stanislaw Skowronek was kind enough to provide the
    shim layer for this - thanks Stanislaw. This patch includes the shim layer
    and the Altix PCI ioc3 serial driver. The MIPS merged ioc3 ethernet and
    serial support is forthcoming.

  • The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip drivers are currently all configured by
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SGIIOC4. This is undesirable as not all IOC4 hardware features
    are needed by all systems.

    This patch adds two configuration variables, CONFIG_SGI_IOC4 for core IOC4
    driver support (see patch 1/3 in this series for further explanation) and
    CONFIG_SERIAL_SGI_IOC4 to independently enable serial port support.

  • 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!
