PCI: fix MSI-HOWTO.txt info about MSI-X MMIO space

2008-10-20T17:54:24+00:00

The current MSI-HOWTO.txt says that device drivers should not request the
memory space that contains MSI-X tables.  This is because the original
MSI-X implementation did a request_mem_region() on this space, but that
code was removed long ago (in the pre-git era, in fact).  Years after the
code was changed, we might as well clean up the documention to avoid a
confusing mention of requesting regions: drivers using MSI-X can just use
pci_request_regions() just like any other driver, and so there's no need
for MSI-HOWTO.txt to talk about this at all.

PCI: Remove no longer correct documentation regarding MSI vector assignment

2007-10-12T22:03:16+00:00

The MSI vector reservation system described in Documentation/MSI-HOWTO.txt
was removed by Eric in 92db6d10bc1bc43330a4c540fa5b64c83d9d865f. Remove
the references to it in the documentation.

While we're here § 5.5.1 refers to x86 hardware requirements, so make that
clear.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

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!
