Josh, if __acquires() and __releases() are always handled in a Linux kernel build, then we don't need the bit in actypes.h. Linux specific changes for sparse will never be used in upstream ACPICA -- Linux can just diverge on these bits, like we do for other annotations, like asmlinkage. thanks, -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
