RT bug fix
A problem existed with the i5000_edac driver under some topologies. In
some cases, this driver failed to export memory devices via sysfs,
preventing the ibm-prtm service from starting. With this update, the memory
devices are accessible, allowing the ibm-prtm service to start, and
therefore perform SMI remediation as expected.

i5000_edac kernel patch fix
------- Comment From kmannth.com 2009-10-29 21:24 EDT------- This tested good with 2.6.31.4-rt14.27.el5rt. Thanks for pickup up the fix. This change was also added to our V1 kernel and will be available on kernel -138. Verified by code review. Found attached patch implemented in 2.6.24.7-139. CVS: bz527421-smi-remediation-simple-fix.patch mrg-rt-v1.git: b1665c93e2f0fadaafb45b1ab1201450f397bfcf Tried to boot both -137 and -139 kernel on an HM21xm blade, without noticing any immediate difference in behaviour.
