hw_random: make buffer usable in scatterlist. 2013-03-04T23:41:41+00:00 Rusty Russell rusty@rustcorp.com.au 2013-03-04T23:37:08+00:00 f7f154f1246ccc5a0a7e9ce50932627d60a0c878 virtio_rng feeds the randomness buffer handed by the core directly into the scatterlist, since commit bb347d98079a547e80bd4722dee1de61e4dca0e8. However, if CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=m, the static buffer isn't a linear address (at least on most archs).

This capability is important for fault-tolerant systems. Even if the kernel option ipmi_si.trydefaults=0 is specified, ipmi_si discovers and claims one of the KCS interfaces on a Stratus server. The inability to now prevent the kernel from managing this device is a regression from previous kernels. The regression breaks a capability fault-tolerant vendors have relied upon. To support both ACPI opregion access and the need to avoid activation of ipmi_si on some platforms, we've added two new kernel options, ipmi_si.tryacpi and ipmi_si.trydmi be added to prevent ipmi_si from initializing when these options are set to 0 on the kernel command line. With these options at the default value of 1, ipmi_si init proceeds according to the kernel default.
