The patch titled IPMI: reserve I/O ports separately has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is ipmi-reserve-i-o-ports-separately.patch This patch was probably dropped from -mm because it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into its parent patch in the -mm tree. ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: IPMI: reserve I/O ports separately From: Corey Minyard <minyard@xxxxxxx> This patch is pretty important to get in for IPMI, new systems have been changing the way ACPI and IPMI interact, and this works around the problems for now. This is a temporary fix until we get proper ACPI handling in IPMI. Fixed releasing already-allocated regions when a later request fails, and forward-ported it to HEAD. Some BIOSes reserve disjoint I/O regions in their ACPI tables for the IPMI controller. This causes problems when trying to register the entire I/O region. Therefore we must register each I/O port separately.
