I think that adding 4K to the kernel (about 0.04% increase looking at a recent build ... or 0.0001% of total memory on a 4G system) isn't really a big deal. I'd rather do that than export all the fw_call_*() functions for all the world to see. If there is some other reason why the exports are needed, then the names may have to change ... these are ia64 specific routines, but the fw_call_*() names sound very generic. -Tony - 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
