1855256c49 drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internals
Three main sets of changes:

1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const,
   since callers should not be changing that data.

2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should,
   whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to
   that data area.

3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible
   in low-level drivers.

And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional
optimizations on the part of the compiler.

The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated.  #1 could
have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others,
it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

7e80d0d0b6 i386: sched.h inclusion from module.h is baack
linux/module.h
  -> linux/elf.h
     -> asm-i386/elf.h
        -> linux/utsname.h
           -> linux/sched.h

Noticeably cut the number of files which are rebuild upon touching sched.h
and cut down pulled junk from every module.h inclusion.

62322d2554 [PATCH] make more file_operation structs static
Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const.  Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

e70c9d5e61 [PATCH] I8K: use standard DMI interface
I8K: Change to use stock dmi infrastructure instead of homegrown
     parsing code. The driver now requires box's DMI data to match
     list of supported models so driver can be safely compiled-in
     by default without fear of it poking into random SMM BIOS
     code. DMI checks can be ignored with i8k.ignore_dmi option.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
