While looking to the report by Coverity in ipmi, I came across the
following issue:
The IPMI message handler relies on two defines which are the same -one in
include/linux/ipmi.h
#define IPMI_NUM_CHANNELS 0x10
and one in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.
#define IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS 16
These are used interchangeably in ipmi_msghandler.c, but since the array
addr->channels[] is of size IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS, I have made a patch that
uses IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS for all the checks for the array index.
NOTE: You could probably remove the line that defines IPMI_NUM_CHANNELS
from ipmi.h, or move IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS to ipmi.h

The IPMI specifcation says the generator ID is 0x20, but that is for bits
7-1. Bit 0 is set to specify it is a software event. The correct value is
0x41. Without this fix, panic events written into the System Event Log
appear to come from an "unknown" generator, rather than from the kernel.

Lots of good changes to the driver lately that userspace will care about
the version of the driver. Bump the version from 36.0 to 38.0 to be higher
than 37 that the 2.4 driver came out with a few weeks ago which doesn't
have all the same changes.

Use rcu_read_lock for the cmd_rcvrs list, since that was what what
intended, anyway. This means that all the users of the cmd_rcvrs_lock are
tasks, so the irq disables are no longer required for that lock and it can
become a semaphore.

This patch is rather large, but it really can't be done in smaller chunks
easily and I believe it is an important change. This has been out and tested
for a while in the latest IPMI driver release. There are no functional
changes, just changes as necessary to convert the locking over (and a few
minor style updates).
The IPMI driver uses read/write locks to ensure that things exist while they
are in use. This is bad from a number of points of view. This patch removes
the rwlocks and uses refcounts and RCU lists to manage what the locks did.

The "null message handler" in the IPMI driver is used in startup and panic
situations to handle messages. It was only designed to work with messages
from the local management controller, but in some cases it was used to get
messages from remote managmenet controllers, and the system would then
panic. This patch makes the "null message handler" in the IPMI driver more
general so it works with any kind of message.

This adds MODULE_VERSION, MODULE_DESCRIPTION, and MODULE_AUTHOR tags to the
IPMI driver modules. Also changes the MODULE_VERSION to remove the
prepended 'v' on each value, consistent with the module versioning policy.
This patch also removes all the version information from everything except
the ipmi_msghandler module.

IPMI allows multiple IPMB channels on a single interface, and each channel
might have a different IPMB address. However, the driver has only one IPMB
address that it uses for everything. This patch adds new IOCTLS and a new
internal interface for setting per-channel IPMB addresses and LUNs. New
systems are coming out with support for multiple IPMB channels, and they are
broken without this patch.

This patch to adds "power cycle" functionality to the IPMI power off module
ipmi_poweroff. It also contains changes to support procfs control of the
feature.
The power cycle action is considered an optional chassis control in the IPMI
specification. However, it is definitely useful when the hardware supports
it. A power cycle is usually required in order to reset a firmware in a bad
state. This action is critical to allow remote management of servers.
The implementation adds power cycle as optional to the ipmi_poweroff module.
It can be modified dynamically through the proc entry mentioned above. During
a power down and enabled, the power cycle command is sent to the BMC firmware.
If it fails either due to non-support or some error, it will retry to send
the command as power off.

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!
