[PATCH 09/15] Despecificate driver from iLO2
This driver supports both iLO2 and iLO3, but our user-visible strings currently only reference iLO2. Let's just call it "iLO" to avoid having to update strings for each iLO generation. This driver doesn't support iLO ASICs prior to iLO2, but that is sufficiently explained in Kconfig. Signed-off-by: dann frazier <... 27 Jul 2010 20:36

[PATCH 11/15] Make x86 assembly ifdef guard more strict
The 32-bit assembly is guarded by an #ifndef CONFIG_X86_64. Kconfig prevents us from building this driver on !X86, so that happens to suffice - but we should really lock it down to #ifdef CONFIG_X86_32.

This patchset makes it possible to build hpwdt without the NMI functionality, as well as some general cleanup.

[PATCH 12/15] Construct status message w/ kasprintf and emit it with dev_info
Constructing the string dynamically w/ kasprintf will make it easier to ifdef-out parts of it. Also, this is for a device, so let's use dev_info.
