When a 32 bit version of ipmitool is used on a 64 bit kernel, the
ipmi_devintf code fails to correctly acquire ipmi_mutex. This results in
incomplete data being retrieved in some cases, or other possible failures.
Add a wrapper around compat_ipmi_ioctl() to take ipmi_mutex to fix this.

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
really cares about is PDE(inode)->data. Provide a helper
for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
layout.

The configuration change building ipmi_si into the kernel precludes the
use of a custom driver that can utilize more than one KCS interface,
multiple IPMBs, and more than one BMC. This capability is important for
fault-tolerant systems.
Even if the kernel option ipmi_si.trydefaults=0 is specified, ipmi_si
discovers and claims one of the KCS interfaces on a Stratus server. The
inability to now prevent the kernel from managing this device is a
regression from previous kernels. The regression breaks a capability
fault-tolerant vendors have relied upon.
To support both ACPI opregion access and the need to avoid activation of
ipmi_si on some platforms, we've added two new kernel options,
ipmi_si.tryacpi and ipmi_si.trydmi be added to prevent ipmi_si from
initializing when these options are set to 0 on the kernel command line.
With these options at the default value of 1, ipmi_si init proceeds
according to the kernel default.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.
This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.
Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

This watchdog driver had ioctl defines introduced locally
for pre timeout handling, marked to be removed as soon as
a generic replacement would become available.
The latter has actually occurred in 2006, at e05b59fe.

The IPMI watchdog timer clears or extends the timer on reboot/shutdown.
It was using the non-locking routine for setting the watchdog timer, but
this was causing race conditions. Instead, use the locking version to
avoid the races. It seems to work fine.

The part of the IPMI driver that delivered panic information to the event
log and extended the watchdog timeout during a panic was not properly
handling the messages. It used static messages to avoid allocation, but
wasn't properly waiting for these, or wasn't properly handling the
refcounts.

The IPMI driver would release a lock, deliver a message, then relock.
This is obviously ugly, and this patch converts the message handler
interface to use a tasklet to schedule work. This lets the receive
handler be called from an interrupt handler with interrupts enabled.

We currently time out and retry KCS transactions after 1 second of waiting
for IBF or OBF. This appears to be too short for some hardware. The IPMI
spec says "All system software wait loops should include error timeouts.
For simplicity, such timeouts are not shown explicitly in the flow
diagrams. A five-second timeout or greater is recommended". Change the
timeout to five seconds to satisfy the slow hardware.
