This patch removes some unneeded cruft that Adrian found, and also turns
off the shutdown of the timer when removing the module. Since the timer is
shutdown when the driver is closed (unless no way out is specified) this is
unnecessary and defeats the no way out option.
- remove some completely unused code
- make some needlessly global code static
- removal of some EXPORT_SYMBOL'ed code with zero users.
- Removal of the timer shutdown on module removal

I have directories full of typo corrections - don't know
whether you want them. Below some wierds.

Some people found some bugs and some missing functions in the IPMI driver,
so I have patching things together for the next release. The attached
patch moves to version 33 of the driver and contains:
* SMBIOS table support for specifying register spacing. This allows
non-contiguous registers to be specified and some machines do
this.
* ACPI table updates to support all the possible register sizes and
bit offsets into the registers for the IPMI information.
* Support for command line parameters to specify register
spacing, sizes, and bit offsets.
* Support for power control with IPMI. This allows a halt to
power down a machine with IPMI.
* A fix for a race condition with interrupts enabled on an
SMP machine. A lock was released then reclaimed, but
there was code later that assumed that had not happened.
* A fix for protecting the driver against bad responses from
the controller chip. In the past, the driver had assumed that
the controller chip would not give it bad data. This has
turned out to be a bad assumption
* ACPI interrupt handlers now return a return value, adjust
accordingly.
Thank you to all the people who helped me with this.

drivers/char/ipmi/* annotated, structure shared between kernel and
userland (ioctls) split in two.
ACPI callback in the same code used to have wrong type - it should've been
void (...), not u32 (...). Fixed.

This patch fixes some problems with handling of channel detection in the
driver. Some systems that are IPMI 1.5 do not implement the channel query
command. Also, the interface has to be fully up before the command is
ready.
This patch also adds a polling interface; this is required for situations
where interrupts are not running, but the system must still issue IPMI
commands, like when taking a crash dump.
It also updates the driver version to v32.

From: Corey Minyard <minyard@acm.org>
- Add support for messaging through an IPMI LAN interface, which is
required for some system software that already exists on other IPMI
drivers. It also does some renaming and a lot of little cleanups.
- Add the "System Interface" driver. The previous driver for system
interfaces only supported the KCS interface, this driver supports all
system interfaces defined in the IPMI standard. It also does a much better
job of handling ACPI and SMBIOS tables for detecting IPMI system
interfaces.
