| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 700+-line comment at the top of the advansys driver fits more comfortably in Documentation/scsi. Delete the sections on: - kernels supported - other files modified (obsolete) - source comments (obsolete) - tests to run - release history (that's what a VCS is for) - contacting connectcom (the domain has expired and the phone number is now in use by another organisation) Known problems/fix list is moved down to the section where jejb put his FIXME.

| * | hwmon: (dme1737) Add sch311x supportJuerg Haefliger2007-10-101-10/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for the SMSC SCH3112, SCH3114, and SCH3116 Super-I/O chips. These chips feature identical hardware monitoring capabilites with the expection that some of the fan inputs and pmw outputs don't exist. The hardware monitoring features of the SCH311x chips can only be accessed via the ISA bus. The driver therefore registers as a platform driver, if such a chip is detected.

| * | | | | | | | PCI: use _CRS for PCI resource allocationGary Hade2007-10-121-0/+2

The resource mis-allocation not only makes the PCI device unuseable but often makes the entire system unuseable due to resulting machine checks. The hotplug capable PCI slots on the affected systems are not located under a standard P2P bridge but are instead located under PCI root bridges or subtractive decode P2P bridges. For example, the IBM x3850 contains 2 hotplug capable PCI-X slots and 4 hotplug capable PCIe slots with the PCI-X slots each located under a PCI root bridge and the PCIe slots each located under a subtractive decode P2P bridge. The current i386/x86_64 PCI resource allocation code does not use _CRS returned resource information. No other resource information source is available for slots that are not below a standard P2P bridge so incorrect ranges are being allocated from e820 hole causing the bad result. This patch causes the kernel to use _CRS returned resource info. It is roughly based on a change provided by Matthew Wilcox for the ia64 kernel in 2005. Due to possible buggy BIOS factor and possible yet to be discovered kernel issues the function is disabled by default and can be enabled with pci=use_crs.

(This was new behavior on ARM as of late 2005, caused by ARM SMP updates.) This little surprise can be annoyingly driver-visible. Since it looks like that restriction won't be removed, this patch changes the definition of the API to include that requirement. Also, to help catch nonportable drivers, it updates the x86 and swiotlb versions to include the relevant warnings. (I already observed that it trips on the bus_reset_tasklet of the new firewire_ohci driver.)
