Hi Linus,
This patch does the following:
- Remove CONFIG_SMP as the compiler will optimize
the code away anyway (smp_num_cpus == 1 in UP).
- Make power off under SMP work again.
- Fix thinko with initial engaging of BIOS.
- Make sure power off only happens on CPU 0.
- Do error notification to user mode if BIOS calls fail.
- Move entrypoint offset fix to ...boot/setup.S
where it belongs.
- Remove smp-power-off. SMP users must now specify
"apm=power-off" on the kernel command line.
- Register the /proc/apm entry even on SMP so that
scripts that check for it before doing power off work.
- Changes for new pm_ interfaces.
And just what everyone has been waiting for :-)
- Modularize the code.
