<title>ACPI: Add new tiny-power-button driver to directly signal init</title>

<content type='text'>
Virtual machines often use an ACPI power button event to tell the
machine to shut down gracefully.

Provide an extremely lightweight "tiny power button" driver to handle
this event by signaling init directly, rather than running a separate
daemon (such as acpid or systemd-logind) that adds to startup time and
VM image complexity.

The kernel configuration defines the default signal to send init, and
userspace can change this signal via a module parameter.

Currently hmat.c lives under an "hmat" directory which does not enhance
the description of the file. The initial motivation for giving hmat.c
its own directory was to delineate it as mm functionality in contrast to
ACPI device driver functionality.

As ACPI continues to play an increasing role in conveying
memory location and performance topology information to the OS take the
opportunity to co-locate these NUMA relevant tables in a combined
directory.

numa.c is renamed to srat.c and moved to drivers/acpi/numa/ along with
hmat.c.

<title>ACPI / PMIC: Add Cherry Trail Crystal Cove PMIC OpRegion driver</title>

<id>cefe6aac29ff608a244f8cc9ba6bcfe12ee9c1f3</id>
<content type='text'>
We have no docs for the CHT Crystal Cove PMIC. The Asus Zenfone-2 kernel
code has 2 Crystal Cove regulator drivers, one calls the PMIC a "Crystal
Cove Plus" PMIC and talks about Cherry Trail, so presuambly that one
could be used to get register info for the regulators if we need to
implement regulator support in the future.

For now the sole purpose of this driver is to make
intel_soc_pmic_exec_mipi_pmic_seq_element work on devices with a
CHT Crystal Cove PMIC.

Specifically this fixes the following MIPI PMIC sequence related errors
on e.g. an Asus T100HA:

[  178.211801] intel_soc_pmic_exec_mipi_pmic_seq_element: No PMIC registered
[  178.211897] [drm:intel_dsi_dcs_init_backlight_funcs [i915]] *ERROR* mipi_exec_pmic failed, error: -6

<title>ACPI / PMIC: Add byt prefix to Crystal Cove PMIC OpRegion driver</title>

<id>ed852cde25a12ea3b6fcc3afc746f773154d0bc5</id>
<content type='text'>
Our current Crystal Cove OpRegion driver is only valid for the
Crystal Cove PMIC variant found on Bay Trail (BYT) boards,
Cherry Trail (CHT) based boards use another variant.

At least the regulator registers are different on CHT and these registers
are one of the things controlled by the custom PMIC OpRegion.

Commit 4d9ed62ab142 ("mfd: intel_soc_pmic: Export separate mfd-cell
configs for BYT and CHT") has disabled the intel_pmic_crc.c code for CHT
devices by removing the "crystal_cove_pmic" MFD cell on CHT devices.

This commit renames the intel_pmic_crc.c driver and the cell to be
prefixed with "byt" to indicate that this code is for BYT devices only.

This is a preparation patch for adding a separate PMIC OpRegion
driver for the CHT variant of the Crystal Cove PMIC (sometimes called
Crystal Cove Plus in Android kernel sources).

The only thing remaining of the machvecs is a few checks if we are
running on an SGI UV system.  Replace those with the existing
is_uv_system() check that has been rewritten to simply check the
OEM ID directly.

That leaves us with a generic kernel that is as fast as the previous
DIG/ZX1/UV kernels, but can support all hardware.  Support for UV
and the HP SBA IOMMU is now optional based on new config options.

The SGI SN2 (early Altix) is a very non-standard IA64 platform that was
at the very high end of even IA64 hardware, and has been discontinued
a long time ago.  Remove it because there no upstream users left, and it
has magic hooks all over the kernel.
