2005-09-09	[PATCH] ppc64: fix IPI on bpa_iic	Arnd Bergmann
	This fixes a severe bug in the bpa_iic driver that caused all sorts of problems. We had been using incorrect priority values for inter processor interrupts, which resulted in always doing CALL_FUNCTION instead of RESCHEDULE or DEBUGGER_BREAK. The symptoms cured by this patch include bad performance on SMP systems spurious kernel panics in the IPI code.

2005-06-23	[PATCH] ppc64: Add driver for BPA interrupt controllers	Arnd Bergmann
	Add support for the integrated interrupt controller on BPA CPUs. There is one of those for each SMT thread. The mapping of interrupt numbers to HW interrupt sources is described in arch/ppc64/kernel/bpa_iic.h. This version hardcodes the 'Spider' chip as the secondary interrupt controller. That is not really generic for the architecture, but at the moment it is the only secondary PIC that exists. A little more work will be needed on this as soon as we have boards with multiple external interrupt controllers.
