<content type='text'>
This patch uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE for crashkernel reservation also for
i386 and prints a error message on failure.

The patch is still for 2.6.26 since it is only bug fixing. The unification
of reserve_crashkernel() between i386 and x86_64 should be done for 2.6.27.

<title>x86: restrict keyboard io ports reservation to make ipmi driver work</title>

<content type='text'>
On some of our (single board computer) boards (x86) we are using an
IPMI controller that uses I/O ports 0x62 and 0x66 for a KCS (keyboard
controller style) IPMI system interface.

Trying to load the openipmi driver fails, because the ports
(0x62/0x66) are reserved for keyboard. keyboard reserves the full
range 0x60-0x6F while it doesn't need to.

Reserve only ports 0x60 and 0x64 for the legacy PS/2 i8042 keyboad
controller instead of 0x60-0x6F to allow the openipmi driver to work.

This is the guest part of kvm clock implementation
It does not do tsc-only timing, as tsc can have deltas
between cpus, and it did not seem worthy to me to keep
adjusting them.

We do use it, however, for fine-grained adjustment.

Other than that, time comes from the host.

Add /sysfs/firmware/ibft/[initiator|targetX|ethernetX] directories along with
text properties which export the the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT)
structure.

What is iSCSI Boot Firmware Table?  It is a mechanism for the iSCSI tools to
extract from the machine NICs the iSCSI connection information so that they
can automagically mount the iSCSI share/target.  Currently the iSCSI
information is hard-coded in the initrd.  The /sysfs entries are read-only
one-name-and-value fields.

The usual set of data exposed is:

# for a in `find /sys/firmware/ibft/ -type f -print`; do  echo -n "$a: ";  cat $a; done
/sys/firmware/ibft/target0/target-name: iqn.2007.com.intel-sbx44:storage-10gb

Move wakeup code to .c, so that video mode setting code can be shared
between boot and wakeup. Remove nasty assembly code in 64-bit case by
re-using trampoline code. Stack setup was fixed to clear high 16bits
of %esp, maybe that fixes some machines.

.c code sharing and morse code was done H. Peter Anvin, Sam Ravnborg
reviewed kbuild related stuff, and it seems okay to him. Rafael did
some cleanups.

[rjw:
* Made the patch stop breaking compilation on x86-32
* Added arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep.h
* Got rid of compiler warnings in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep.c
* Fixed 32-bit compilation on x86-64 systems
* Added include/asm-x86/trampoline.h and fixed the non-SMP
  compilation on 64-bit x86
* Removed arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep_32.c which was not used
* Fixed some breakage caused by the integration of smpboot.c done
  under us in the meantime]
