I8K patches have been sent to LKML earlier and were tested (although I have dropped sysfs export patch, there were some objections from Greg). 01-toshiba-cleanup Toshiba legacy driver cleanup: - use module_init/module_exit for initialization instead of using #ifdef MODULE and calling tosh_init manually from drivers/char/misc.c - do not explicitly initialize static variables - some whitespace and formatting cleanups 02-i8k-lindent.patch - pass through Lindent to change 4 spaces identation to TABs 03-i8k-use-dmi.patch - 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. 04-i8k-seqfile.patch - Change proc code to use seq_file. 05-i8k-cleanup.patch - use module_{init|exit} instead of old style #ifdef MODULE code, some formatting changes 06-i8k-new-signatures.patch - add BIOS signatures of a newer Dell laptops, also there can be more than one temperature sensor reported by BIOS.
