Three patches to remove issues with probing interface default, to make sure the driver is completely idle if nothing is happening on it, and to compile the IPMI driver into the kernel if ACPI is enabled.
The ACPI spec really requires that the IPMI driver be built into the kernel because ACPI uses IPMI for some operations. But some people do not want the driver even using the mimimal amount of CPU it uses when idle. And the default probing, even though sort of implied to be required by the spec, is really a bad idea and can result in hangs on systems with other hardware at those location. Hopefully these patches make everyone happy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software. Cisco certified tool.
