/proc/sgi_uv already exists, similar to /proc/sgi_sn on Itanium systems.
Would it be /sys/class/firmware? Reading Documentation/sysfs-rules.txt
seems to indicate somewhere under /sys/devices, such as /sys/devices/system/,
but I may be wrong.
+# define BIOS_CALL(result, a0, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7) \I have more than a little problem with submitting patches like this. We have no way to judge the suitability of the coding or the interface with the "meat" of the driver stubbed out!
+ do { \
+ /* XXX - the real call goes here */ \
+ result.status = BIOS_STATUS_UNIMPLEMENTED; \
+ result.v0 = 0; \
+ result.v1 = 0; \
+ } while (0)
This is also code for hardware that does not exist. In order for the
code to be in distro releases in time for the hardware to ship, we
must push it _before_ we have hardware. The main concern is getting in
interfaces now, because the interfaces cannot change in a minor release.
Providing more "meat" is on the ToDo list.
