Subject: [RFC][Patch] IBM Real-Time "SMI Free" mode drive -v2

This driver supports the Real-Time Linux (RTL) BIOS feature.  The RTL
feature allows non-fatal System Management Interrupts (SMIs) to be
disabled on supported IBM platforms. 


The Device is presented as a special "_rtl_" table to the OS in the
Extended BIOS Data Area.  There is a simple protocol for entering and
exiting the mode at runtime.  This driver creates a simple sysfs
interface to allow a simple entry and exit from RTL mode in the
UFI/BIOS.
