The I2O layer deals with a technology that to say the least didn't catch on
in the market.
The only relevant products are some of the AMI MegaRAID - which supported I2O
and its native mode (The native mode is faster and runs on Linux), an
obscure crypto ethernet card that's now so many years out of date nobody
would use it, the old DPT controllers, which speak their own dialect and
have their own driver - and ermm.. thats about it.
We also know the code isn't in good shape as recently a patch was proposed
and queried as buggy, which in turn showed the existing code was broken
already by prior "clean up" and nobody had noticed that either.
It's coding style robot code nothing more. Like some forgotten corridor
cleaned relentlessly by a lost Roomba but where no user has trodden in years.
Move it to staging and then to /dev/null.
The headers remain as they are shared with dpt_i2o.

The I2O ioctls assume 32bits. In itself that is fine as they are old
cards and nobody uses 64bit. However on LKML it was noted this
assumption is also made for allocated memory and is unsafe on 64bit
systems.
Fixing this is a mess. It turns out there is tons of crap buried in a
header file that does racy 32/64bit filtering on the masks.
So we:
- Verify all callers of the racy code can sleep (i2o_dma_[re]alloc)
- Move the code into a new i2o/memory.c file
- Remove the gfp_mask argument so nobody can try and misuse the function
- Wrap a mutex around the problem area (a single mutex is easy to do and
none of this is performance relevant)
- Switch the remaining problem kmalloc holdout to use i2o_dma_alloc

and 64-bit DMA support
Changes:
- Added Bus-OSM which could be used by user space programs to reset a
channel on the controller
- Make ioctl's in Config-OSM obsolete in prefer for sysfs attributes and
move those to its own file
- Added sysfs attribute for firmware read and write access for I2O
controllers
- Added special handling of firmware read and write access for Adaptec
controllers
- Added vendor id and product id as sysfs-attribute to Executive classes
- Added automatic notification of LCT change handling to Exec-OSM
- Added flushing function to Block-OSM for later barrier implementation
- Use PRIVATE messages for Block access on Adaptec controllers, which are
faster then BLOCK class access
- Cleaned up support for Promise controller
- New messages are now detected using the IRQ status register as
suggested by the I2O spec
- Added i2o_dma_high() and i2o_dma_low() functions
- Added facility for SG tablesize calculation when using 32-bit and
64-bit DMA addresses
- Added i2o_dma_map_single() and i2o_dma_map_sg() which could build the
SG list for 32-bit as well as 64-bit DMA addresses

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!
