BUG fixes:

  The driver used to allocate memory with spinlock held which has been
  fixed in this patch.

  The driver was printing the entire buffer when it received a invalid
  entry in image_type.  The fix is to only print a warning message and not
  the buffer.

Usability enhancements:

  It is possible that due to user error the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu
  entries might be missing, this can happen if the user does the following

	echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
	echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading

  This will make the entries in /sys/class/firmware/ to disappear and the
  only way get them back was bby unloading and loading the driver.

  This patch makes the user recreate these entries by echoing init in to
  image_type.

This patch has been tested with Libsmbios and Dell OpenManage.

If the PCDP supplies parity, use it (only none/even/odd supported), and
don't append parity/stop bit arguments unless baud is present.

Mark's patch added "attribute((packed))" for pcdp_uart, without
accounting for the fact that the structure definition _relied_ on
implicit padding by 6 bytes.  Fix is to make the padding explicit.

Resend 2 with changes per Bjorn Helgaas comments.  Changes from original:

+ Change globals to vga_console_iobase/vga_console_membase and make them
  unconditional.
+ Address style-related comments.

Patch to extend the PCDP vga setup code to support PCI io/mem translations
for the legacy vga ioport and ram spaces on architectures (e.g. altix) which
need them.

Summary of the changes:

drivers/firmware/pcdp.c
drivers/firmware/pcdp.h
-----------------------
+ add declaration for the spec-defined PCI interface struct (pcdp_if_pci)
  as well as support macros.

+ extend setup_vga_console() to know about pcdp_if_pci and add a couple of
  globals to hold the io and mem translation offsets if present.

arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c
------------------------
+ tweek early_console_setup() to allow multiple early console setup routines
  to be called.

include/asm-ia64/vga.h
----------------------
+ make VGA_MAP_MEM vga_console_membase aware

Here's a patch with kfree() cleanups for drivers/firmware/efivars.c Patch
removes redundant NULL checks before kfree and also makes a small
whitespace cleanup - moves two statements on same line to separate lines.

The HCDP specs (i.e., PCDP revision < 3) allow zero as a default value for
baud rate and data bits.  So if firmware doesn't supply them, let
early_serial_console_init() probe for them rather than telling it the baud
rate is zero.

Also, update the URL for the PCDP spec.

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!
