Sure.
The changes are:
* Move poll_wait() outside a spinlock, since it can sleep
* Modify the state machine to restart the timer immediately on
starting a new message. Firmware updates went down from 30
minutes to 5.
* Allocate a the main KCS state machine variable the right size (it
was too big).
* Fix recovery from the HOSED state machine state so that the driver
will recover properly if the IPMI controller fails temporarily.
* Call some spinlocks with "unsigned long flags" instead of "int flags".
* Add buffer leak checking.
* Fix the handling of watchdog conditions, they were incorrect in
many cases.
* Fix the watchdog so the first write starts it, not the second write.
* Fix the watchdog so pretimeouts are handled properly and don't
necessarily result in a reset.
* Add some missing symbol exports that the watchdog code needs.
Almost all of these are bug fixes, with the exception of the buffer leak
checking, and possibly the immediate timer restart.
