[PATCH 01/34] System Firmware Interface

Prarit Bhargava
2011-07-18T13:08:15Z

This patch introduces a general System Firmware interface to the kernel, called
sysfw.

Inlcluded in this interface is the ability to search a standard set of fields,
sysfw_lookup(). The fields are currently based upon the x86 and ia64 SMBIOS
fields but exapandable to fields that other arches may introduce. Also
included is the ability to search and match against those fields, and run
a callback function against the matches, sysfw_callback().

Modify module code to use sysfw instead of old DMI interface.

[v2]: Modified sysfw_id to include up to 8 matches. Almost all declarations of
sysfw_id are __init so the increased kernel image size isn't a big issue.

[v3]: Use sysfs bus instead of class, restore existing dmi class for backwards
compatibility.
