The "null message handler" in the IPMI driver is used in startup and panic
situations to handle messages.  It was only designed to work with messages
from the local management controller, but in some cases it was used to get
messages from remote managmenet controllers, and the system would then
panic.  This patch makes the "null message handler" in the IPMI driver more
general so it works with any kind of message.

This adds MODULE_VERSION, MODULE_DESCRIPTION, and MODULE_AUTHOR tags to the
IPMI driver modules.  Also changes the MODULE_VERSION to remove the
prepended 'v' on each value, consistent with the module versioning policy.

This patch also removes all the version information from everything except
the ipmi_msghandler module.

IPMI allows multiple IPMB channels on a single interface, and each channel
might have a different IPMB address.  However, the driver has only one IPMB
address that it uses for everything.  This patch adds new IOCTLS and a new
internal interface for setting per-channel IPMB addresses and LUNs.  New
systems are coming out with support for multiple IPMB channels, and they are
broken without this patch.

We fix the check in 1084, which was

1084 			if (addr->channel > IPMI_NUM_CHANNELS) {
1085 				spin_lock_irqsave(&intf->counter_lock, flags);
1086 				intf->sent_invalid_commands++;
1087 				spin_unlock_irqrestore(&intf->counter_lock, flags);
1088 				rv = -EINVAL;
1089 				goto out_err;
1090 			}

addr->channel is used in

1092 			if (intf->channels[addr->channel].medium

Definitions involved:

This patch to adds "power cycle" functionality to the IPMI power off module
ipmi_poweroff.  It also contains changes to support procfs control of the
feature.

The power cycle action is considered an optional chassis control in the IPMI
specification.  However, it is definitely useful when the hardware supports
it.  A power cycle is usually required in order to reset a firmware in a bad
state.  This action is critical to allow remote management of servers.

The implementation adds power cycle as optional to the ipmi_poweroff module.
It can be modified dynamically through the proc entry mentioned above.  During
a power down and enabled, the power cycle command is sent to the BMC firmware.
 If it fails either due to non-support or some error, it will retry to send
the command as power off.

Correct an issue with the IPMI message layer taking a lock and calling
lower layer driver.  If an error occrues at the lower layer the lock can be
taken again causing a deadlock.  The lock is released before calling the
lower layer.

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!
