This is a new release of the IPMI driver that fixes some performance problems. Some vendors implement firmware updates over IPMI, and this speeds up that process quite a bit. Linus, please apply. Alan, I will send you the 2.4 patch, so you don't have to fetch it from SF. This release: * Improves the "send - wait for response - send -wait for response - etc" performance when using high-res timers. Before, an ~10ms delay would be added to each message, because it didn't restart the timer if nothing was happing when a new message was started. * Adds some checking for leaked messages. The patch is a 2.5 version against what is current in Bitkeeper (well, what is current in bk-CVS, thanks for the tool, Larry). The 2.5.66 and 2.4.20 versions are at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openipmi/ -Corey
