Patches included are: ipmi-use-refcounts.patch - The big one, convert over to refcounts ipmi-various-si-cleanups.patch - Lots of little cleanups from Matt ipmi-watchdog-parm-in-sysfs.patch - Parms in sysfs are nice ipmi-poweroff-cleanups.patch - Fix stupid mistakes on my part ipmi-more-dell-fixes.patch - Fixes for handling some firmware issues ipmi-si-start-transaction-hook.patch - Hooks for handling firmware bugs and some hacks for some Dell machines. ipmi-bt-restart-reset-fixes.patch - Fix an error recovery case in BT ipmi-kcs-error0-delay.patch - Fix an error recovery case in KCS ipmi-timer-thread.patch - A thread to make IPMI run faster on average.
