The IPMI smi_watcher will be used to catch the IPMI interface as they
come or go. In order to communicate with the correct IPMI device, it
should be confirmed whether it is what we wanted especially on the
system with multiple IPMI devices. But the new_smi callback function
of smi_watcher provides very limited info(only the interface number
and dev pointer) and there is no detailed info about the low level
interface. For example: which mechansim registers the IPMI
interface(ACPI, PCI, DMI and so on).
This is to add one interface that can get more info of low-level IPMI
device. For example: the ACPI device handle will be returned for the
pnp_acpi IPMI device.

There is no need for linux/ipmi_smi.h to include itself.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

IPMI code theoretically allows ->write_proc users, but nobody uses this thus
far.

Lots of style fixes for the base IPMI driver. No functional changes.
Basically fixes everything reported by checkpatch and fixes the comment
style.

Coverity spotted some incorrect code in a recent change to the IPMI driver;
this patch make sure the data is really long enough to pull the
manufacturer id and product id out of a get device id message.

Add support for IPMI 0.9 systems to the IPMI driver. Just handle a shorter
get device ID command with less information.

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!
