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!

+config IPMI_HANDLER
+ tristate 'IPMI top-level message handler'
+ help
+ This enables the central IPMI message handler, required for IPMI
+ to work.
+
+ IPMI is a standard for managing sensors (temperature,
+ voltage, etc.) in a system.
+
+ See <file:Documentation/IPMI.txt> for more details on the driver.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
+ bool 'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic'
+ depends on IPMI_HANDLER
+ help
+ When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
+ generate an IPMI event describing the panic to each interface
+ registered with the message handler.
+
+config IPMI_PANIC_STRING
+ bool 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string'
+ depends on IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
+ help
+ When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
+ generate IPMI OEM type f0 events holding the IPMB address of the
+ panic generator (byte 4 of the event), a sequence number for the
+ string (byte 5 of the event) and part of the string (the rest of the
+ event). Bytes 1, 2, and 3 are the normal usage for an OEM event.
+ You can fetch these events and use the sequence numbers to piece the
+ string together.
+
+config IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE
+ tristate 'Device interface for IPMI'
+ depends on IPMI_HANDLER
+ help
+ This provides an IOCTL interface to the IPMI message handler so
+ userland processes may use IPMI. It supports poll() and select().
+
+config IPMI_SI
+ tristate 'IPMI System Interface handler'
+ depends on IPMI_HANDLER
+ help
+ Provides a driver for System Interfaces (KCS, SMIC, BT).
+ Currently, only KCS and SMIC are supported. If
+ you are using IPMI, you should probably say "y" here.
+
+config IPMI_WATCHDOG
+ tristate 'IPMI Watchdog Timer'
+ depends on IPMI_HANDLER
+ help
+ This enables the IPMI watchdog timer.
+
+config IPMI_POWEROFF
+ tristate 'IPMI Poweroff'
+ depends on IPMI_HANDLER
+ help
+ This enables a function to power off the system with IPMI if
+ the IPMI management controller is capable of this.
