>But I guess using GSI/vector internally only would be fine. The last time I tried to name a variable "gsi" instead of "irq", Linus launched into a tirade that "GSI" doesn't mean anything to him, or anybody else that googles it. On the other hand "IRQ" means something to everybody, and if you google it you find all kinds of interesting interrupt-related things. My point was that "IRQ" means so many "interrupt related" things to different people in different contexts, that it is effectively meaningless. But Linus was not swayed. -Len - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
