Three patches follow: some minor refactoring that shouldn't be functionally different, adding an interrupt handler, and finally adding a .poll(). Please CC me on any replies, and thanks, Dave --- David Altobelli (3): hpilo: staging for interrupt handling hpilo: add interrupt handler hpilo: add poll f_op
