Wim Van Sebroeck 03a8e359cf [WATCHDOG] i8xx_tco.c - remove support for ICH6 + ICH7
Temporary remove support for ICH6 + ICH7. In these newer TCO's
the watchdog timer has changed: the TCO_TMR register is not at
the TCOBASE+0x1 offset, but changed it's place to TCOBASE+0x12
and became 10 bit long [0:9]. (Kernel BUG 6031).

ICH6 + ICH7 support will be added in a new driver. Code is
under test.

Kylene Jo Hall 9e18ee1917 [PATCH] tpm: command duration update
With the TPM 1.2 Specification, each command is classified as short, medium or
long and the chip tells you the maximum amount of time for a response to each
class of command.  This patch provides and array of the classifications and a
function to determine how long the response should be waited for.  Also, it
uses that information in the command processing to determine how long to poll
for.  The function is exported so the 1.2 driver can use the functionality to
determine how long to wait for a DataAvailable interrupt if interrupts are
being used.

The following patch set contains numerous changes to the base tpm driver
(tpm.c) to support the next generation of TPM chips.  The changes include new
sysfs files because of more relevant data being available, a function to
access the timeout and duration values for the chip, and changes to make use
of those duration values.  Duration in the TPM specification is defined as the
maximum amount of time the chip could take to return the results.  Commands
are in one of three categories short, medium and long.  Also included are
cleanups of how the commands for the sysfs files are composed to reduce a
bunch of redundant arrays.

Eric W. Biederman 20ac94378d [PATCH] do_SAK: Don't recursively take the tasklist_lock
By calling send_sig do_SAK is recursively taking the
tasklist_lock, which is silly.

In addition I just audited the kernel and this was the only
place where tasklist_lock is taken inside of task_lock.

So this one line change is a general worthwhile cleanup and
it increases our options on how to fix the ptrace_attach races.

Eric Sesterhenn e60b6e2f74 [PATCH] Wrong out of range check in drivers/char/applicom.c
This fixes coverity bug id #469.  The out of range check didnt work as
intended, as seen by the printk(), which states that boardno has to be 1 <=
boardno <= MAX_BOARD.

Corey Minyard 4791c03d2c [PATCH] ipmi: fix event queue limit
The event handler mechanism in the IPMI driver had a limit on the number of
received events, but the counts were not being updated.  Update the counts
to impose a limit.  This is not a critical fix, as this function (the
sending of the events) has to be turned on by the user, anyway.  This
avoids problems if they forget to turn it back off.
