[PATCH 09/11] ahci: Move generic code into libahci
This patch should contain no functional changes, just moves code around. Currently libahci.c and ahci.c are built into a single module, so there is no need for EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()s, yet. Exports will be added in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov(a)ru.mvista.com> --- drivers/ata/Ma... 3 Mar 2010 13:00

Sorta works, the PEBS-LBR-fixup stuff makes my machine unhappy, but I could have made a silly mistake there..

[PATCH 1/4] IPMI: Add parameter to limit CPU usage in kipmid
From: Martin Wilck <martin.wilck(a)ts.fujitsu.com> In some cases kipmid can use a lot of CPU. This adds a way to tune the CPU used by kipmid to help in those cases. By setting kipmid_max_busy_us to a value between 100 and 500, it is possible to bring down kipmid CPU load to practically 0 without loosing too much ... 3 Mar 2010 11:49
