The patch titled ipmi: raise precedence of PNP based discovery mechanisms (ACPI, PCI) has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ipmi-raise-precedence-of-pnp-based-discovery-mechanisms-acpi-pci.patch This patch was dropped because it was nacked The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ipmi: raise precedence of PNP based discovery mechanisms (ACPI, PCI) From: Myron Stowe <myron.stowe@xxxxxx> This raises the precedence of PNP discovery mechanisms, ACPI and PCI, above SMBIOS and SPMI as indicated by Appendix C1 of the IPMI specification. Reference: IPMI - Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification v2.0, Document Revision 1.0, 05.05.2005 Markup Appendix C1 - Locating IPMI System Interfaces via SMBIOS Tables "Note that the settings that this structure reports may be over- ridden by `Plug-and-Play' reassignment by the OS. Therefore, this structure should be used only when the interface cannot be discovered via `Plug-and-Play' discovery mechanisms incorporated in interfaces such as PCI and ACPI."
