27d0567ab6 ACPI: fix ACPI=n allmodconfig build
Today's -tip failed to build because commit
9e368fa011 ("ipmi: add PNP discovery (ACPI
namespace via PNPACPI)") from today's upstream kernel causes the following
build failure on x86, for CONFIG_ACPI=n && CONFIG_IPMI_SI=y:

 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3208: error: 'ipmi_pnp_driver' undeclared (first use in this function)
 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3208: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3208: error: for each function it appears in.)
 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3334: error: 'ipmi_pnp_driver' undeclared (first use in this function)

The reason is that the ipmi_pnp_driver depends on ACPI facilities and is only
made available under ACPI - while the registration and unregistration is made
dependent on CONFIG_PNP:

 #ifdef CONFIG_PNP
 	pnp_register_driver(&ipmi_pnp_driver);
 #endif

The solution is to only register this driver under ACPI. (Also, the CONFIG_PNP
dependency is not needed because pnp_register_driver() is stubbed out in the
!CONFIG_PNP case.)

9e368fa011 ipmi: add PNP discovery (ACPI namespace via PNPACPI)
This allows ipmi_si_intf.c to claim IPMI devices described in the ACPI
namespace.  Using PNP makes it simpler to parse the IRQ/IO/memory resources
of the device.

We look at any SPMI tables before looking for devices in the namespace.

This is based on ipmi_pci_probe().

9de33df41f ipmi: remove driver_data direct access of struct device
In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device.  Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used.  These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.

9a2845c453 ipmi: fix ipmi_si modprobe hang
Instead of queuing IPMB messages before channel initialization, just
throw them away.  Nobody will be listening for them at this point,
anyway, and they will clog up the queue and nothing will be delivered
if we queue them.

Also set the current channel to the number of channels, as this value
is used to tell if the channel information has been initialized.

99b7623380 proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.

We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.

But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.

->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.

rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.

Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

So, let's nuke it.

Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

fe2d5ffc74 Fix platform drivers that crash on suspend/resume
It turns out that if one registers a struct platform_device, the
platform device code expects that platform_device.device->driver points
to a struct driver inside a struct platform_driver.

This is not the case with the ipmi-si, ipmi-msghandler and ibmaem
drivers, which causes the suspend/resume hook functions to jump off into
nowhere, causing a crash.  Make this assumption hold true for these
three drivers.

233e70f422 saner FASYNC handling on file close
As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.

So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set.  And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

bda4c30aa6 ipmi: run to completion fixes
The "run_to_completion" mode was somewhat broken.  Locks need to be avoided in
run_to_completion mode, and it shouldn't be used by normal users, just
internally for panic situations.

This patch removes locks in run_to_completion mode and removes the user call
for setting the mode.  The only user was the poweroff code, but it was easily
converted to use the polling interface.

bed9759b2e drivers/char: use LIST_HEAD instead of LIST_HEAD_INIT
single list_head variable initialized with LIST_HEAD_INIT could almost
always can be replaced with LIST_HEAD declaration, this shrinks the code
and looks better.
