There have been a fair few changes since then, and this patch will probably need a fair bit of work. 1) Back in 2.6.21, acpi_subsys was defined as a 'struct subsystem' in acpi_bus.h - it's now a 'struct kset' 2) Greg KH has an RFC patch lined up that does even more work in this area - http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/2 3) From my limited understanding of the area and intent, this patch seems to be a combination of kset work + the interrupt support - could it be split into two functionally separate patches to cover these instead? (Basically, the only bit I'm really interested in is the EXPORT_SYMBOL(acpi_subsys), as acpi_subsys can currently only be used from built-in drivers, which is preventing me from converting wmi.c to a module). -Carlos -- E-Mail: carlos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web: strangeworlds.co.uk GPG Key ID: 0x23EE722D - 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
