Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
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!

7 | ---help--- | ||
8 | The Intelligent Input/Output (I2O) architecture allows hardware | ||
9 | drivers to be split into two parts: an operating system specific | ||
10 | module called the OSM and an hardware specific module called the | ||
11 | HDM. The OSM can talk to a whole range of HDM's, and ideally the | ||
12 | HDM's are not OS dependent. This allows for the same HDM driver to | ||
13 | be used under different operating systems if the relevant OSM is in | ||
14 | place. In order for this to work, you need to have an I2O interface | ||
15 | adapter card in your computer. This card contains a special I/O | ||
16 | processor (IOP), thus allowing high speeds since the CPU does not | ||
17 | have to deal with I/O. | ||
18 | |||
19 | If you say Y here, you will get a choice of interface adapter | ||
20 | drivers and OSM's with the following questions. | ||
21 | |||
22 | To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the | ||
23 | modules will be called i2o_core. | ||
24 | |||
25 | If unsure, say N. | ||

30 | help | ||
31 | Say Y for support of the configuration interface for the I2O adapters. | ||
32 | If you have a RAID controller from Adaptec and you want to use the | ||
33 | raidutils to manage your RAID array, you have to say Y here. | ||
34 | |||

39 | tristate "I2O Block OSM" | ||
40 | depends on I2O | ||
41 | help | ||
42 | Include support for the I2O Block OSM. The Block OSM presents disk | ||
43 | and other structured block devices to the operating system. If you | ||
44 | are using an RAID controller, you could access the array only by | ||
45 | the Block OSM driver. But it is possible to access the single disks | ||
46 | by the SCSI OSM driver, for example to monitor the disks. | ||
47 | |||
48 | To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the | ||
49 | module will be called i2o_block. | ||
50 | |||
51 | config I2O_SCSI | ||
52 | tristate "I2O SCSI OSM" | ||
53 | depends on I2O && SCSI | ||
54 | help | ||
55 | Allows direct SCSI access to SCSI devices on a SCSI or FibreChannel | ||
56 | I2O controller. You can use both the SCSI and Block OSM together if | ||
57 | you wish. To access a RAID array, you must use the Block OSM driver. | ||
58 | But you could use the SCSI OSM driver to monitor the single disks. | ||
59 | |||
60 | To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the | ||
61 | module will be called i2o_scsi. | ||
