Trivial patch which adds the __init to the module_init function of
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmy_poweroff.c and corrects the location of __exit for the
cleanup function.

<title>ipmi: remove driver_data direct access of struct device</title>

In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device.  Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used.  These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.

Instead of queuing IPMB messages before channel initialization, just
throw them away.  Nobody will be listening for them at this point,
anyway, and they will clog up the queue and nothing will be delivered
if we queue them.

Also set the current channel to the number of channels, as this value
is used to tell if the channel information has been initialized.

Bela Lubkin noticed that the statistics for send IPMB and LAN commands
in the IPMI driver could be incremented even if an error occurred.  Move
the increments to the proper place to avoid this.

Also add some statistics for retransmissions that failed, and some little
helper functions to neaten up the code a little.

The IPMI driver would attempt to use the event buffer even if that
didn't exist on the BMC.  This patch modified the IPMI driver to check
for the event buffer's existence before trying to use it.

Setting -&gt;owner as done currently (pde-&gt;owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
-&gt;owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.

We can keep -&gt;owner and supply it at registration time like -&gt;proc_fops
and -&gt;data.

But this leaves -&gt;owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching -&gt;owner. -&gt;proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.

-&gt;read_proc/-&gt;write_proc were just fixed to not require -&gt;owner for
protection.

rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.

Removing -&gt;owner will also make PDE smaller.

So, let's nuke it.

Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

It turns out that if one registers a struct platform_device, the
platform device code expects that platform_device.device-&gt;driver points
to a struct driver inside a struct platform_driver.

This is not the case with the ipmi-si, ipmi-msghandler and ibmaem
drivers, which causes the suspend/resume hook functions to jump off into
nowhere, causing a crash.  Make this assumption hold true for these
three drivers.
