Problems with serial interrupts with IPMI 2.0 SoL

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge]

Hi,

I'm using a system with an embedded IPMI 2.0 BMC which provides SoL 
(Supermicro X8SIL-F).  This works fine under Linux (fully interrupt 
driven), but fails for Xen as it appears to not be sending interrupts; 
it works OK if I set the driver to polling mode.

I'm assuming the Xen is tickling some bug in the emulated 16550.  The 
Linux driver has a couple of pieces of code to explicitly work around 
bugs in the Intel AMT SoL implementation, but I don't think they're 
coming into play here (because there are no Intel SoL PCI devices on 
this system to trigger the NO_TXEN_TEST flag).

I'm wondering if you have any pointers or suggestions about more subtle 
problems?

Thanks,
    J
