[IA64-SGI] sn2: serialize access to PROM chips
If we read and write the PROM chips at the same time, as might happen at boot when salinfo extracts MCA records and a user is checking the PROM revision in /proc/sgi_prominfo, an MCA might occur, since the PROM chips can't be accessed that way. This patch fixes the problem for systems with new PROMs (>= 3.50) by using the SAL to do PROM reads. Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
