Prarit Bhargava cdf8afca24 hpilo: fix pointer warning in ilo_ccb_setup
Fix i386 PAE compile warning:

drivers/misc/hpilo.c: In function `ilo_ccb_setup':
drivers/misc/hpilo.c:274: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

dma_addr_t is 64 on i386 PAE which causes a size mismatch.

David Altobelli 9f70484121 hpilo: add interrupt handler
Add interrupt handler to hpilo.  This is enablement for poll handler,
and it also simplifies the logic for handling an iLO reset, because now
only the interrupt handler needs to look for reset, the file system
interfaces only need to return failure when a reset has happened.

David Altobelli 891f7d73ea hpilo: reduce frequency of IO operations
Change hpilo open and close logic to spin for 10usec between checking device,
rather than every usec.

Because the loop is coded to take up to 10ms, it seemed prudent to
increase the interval between polling the device, to reduce the load on
the system and allow more other work to happen.

David Altobelli c073b2db00 hpilo: open/close fix
The device can take a while to respond to an open/close request, so
increase the time kernel will wait for response (1 ms to 10ms).

Also, properly clean up a channel on a failed open, by calling the channel
close routine.  Just freeing the memory isn't sufficient, the device needs
to be informed that the channel is no longer open, and the device memory
cleared of references to freed dma buffer.

David Altobelli 89bcb05d9b HP iLO driver
A driver for the HP iLO/iLO2 management processor, which allows userspace
programs to query the management processor.  Programs can open a channel
to the device (/dev/hpilo/dXccbN), and use this to send/receive queries.  
The O_EXCL open flag is used to indicate that a particular channel cannot
be shared between processes.  This driver will replace various packages
HP has shipped, including hprsm and hp-ilo.
