* PCI: fix MSI-HOWTO.txt info about MSI-X MMIO spaceRoland Dreier2008-10-201-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current MSI-HOWTO.txt says that device drivers should not request the memory space that contains MSI-X tables. This is because the original MSI-X implementation did a request_mem_region() on this space, but that code was removed long ago (in the pre-git era, in fact). Years after the code was changed, we might as well clean up the documention to avoid a confusing mention of requesting regions: drivers using MSI-X can just use pci_request_regions() just like any other driver, and so there's no need for MSI-HOWTO.txt to talk about this at all.

* PCI: Remove no longer correct documentation regarding MSI vector assignmentMichael Ellerman2007-10-121-65/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MSI vector reservation system described in Documentation/MSI-HOWTO.txt was removed by Eric in 92db6d10bc1bc43330a4c540fa5b64c83d9d865f. Remove the references to it in the documentation. While we're here ยง 5.5.1 refers to x86 hardware requirements, so make that clear.

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!
