linux.git/drivers/mca/mca-bus.c, branch master Linux kernel source tree MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support. 2012-05-17T23:06:13+00:00 Paul Gortmaker paul.gortmaker@windriver.com 2012-05-17T23:06:13+00:00 bb8187d35f820671d6dd76700d77a6b55f95e2c5 Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series. This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in carrying this any further into the future. One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines

This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core

carrying this any further into the future.

The problem is that these special functions don't have dedicated pos IDs, so we have to manufacture ids for them outside the pos space ... and these ids can't be matched by the standard matching function, so add a special registration that requests a list of pos ids or a particular integrated function.

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.
