Tony Luck a5f8ee0291 [IA64] Need export for csum_ipv6_magic
Now we have our own highly optimized assembly code version of
this routine (Thanks Ken!) we should export it so that it can
be used.

Prarit Bhargava 0a69ca91be [PATCH] Fix RAID5 + IA64 compile
CONFIG_MD_RAID5 became CONFIG_MD_RAID456 in drivers/md/Kconfig.  Make
the same change in arch/ia64

David Mosberger-Tang 2ab561a116 [IA64] esi-support
Add support for making ESI calls [1].  ESI stands for "Extensible SAL
specification" and is basically a way for invoking firmware
subroutines which are identified by a GUID.  I don't know whether ESI
is used by vendors other than HP (if you do, please let me know) but
as firmware "backdoors" go, this seems one of the cleaner methods, so
it seems reasonable to support it, even though I'm not aware of any
publicly documented ESI calls.  I'd have liked to make the ESI module
completely stand-alone, but unfortunately that is not easily (or not
at all) possible because in order to make ESI calls in physical mode,
a small stub similar to the EFI stub is needed in the kernel proper.
I did try to create a stub that would work in user-level, but it
quickly got ugly beyond recognition (e.g., the stub had to make
assumptions about how the module-loader generated call-stubs work) and
I didn't even get it to work (that's probably fixable, but I didn't
bother because I concluded it was too ugly anyhow).  While it's not
terribly elegant to have kernel code which isn't actively used in the
kernel proper, I think it might be worth making an exception here for
two reasons: the code is trivially small (all that's really needed is
esi_stub.S) and by including it in the normal kernel distro, it might
encourage other OEMs to also use ESI, which I think would be far
better than each inventing their own firmware "backdoor".

The code was originally written by Alex.  I just massaged and packaged
it a bit (and perhaps messed up some things along the way...).

Changes since first version of patch that was posted to mailing list:
* Export ia64_esi_call and ia64_esi_call_phys() as GPL symbols.
* Disallow building esi.c as a module for now.  Building as a module
  would currently lead to an unresolved reference to "sal_lock" on SMP kernels
  because that symbol doesn't get exported.
* Export esi_call_phys() only if ESI is enabled.
* Remove internal stuff from esi.h and add a "proc_type" argument to
  ia64_esi_call() such that serialization-requirements can be expressed (ESI
  follows SAL here, where procedure calls may have to be serialized, are
  MP-safe, or MP-safe andr reentrant).

Dean Roe b77dae5293 [IA64] - Make pfn_valid more precise for SGI Altix systems
A single SGI Altix system can be divided into multiple partitions,
each running their own instance of the Linux kernel.  pfn_valid()
is currently not optimal for any but the first partition, since it
does not compare the pfn with min_low_pfn before calling the more
costly ia64_pfn_valid().

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. 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.

Let it rip!
