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

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 (LS21, LS22 and HS21xm blades).  

This driver creates a simple sysfs interface to allow a simple entry and
exit from RTL mode in the BIOS.
