Another WMI release.
Patch #1: (WMI - initial driver and in kernel interface)
Big change here is putting in a basic EC region handler - which is
mostly a shameless rip off of the EC driver's acpi_ec_space_handler,
with the exception that WMI doesn't need to care about the EC device,
and just calls ec_{read,write} instead.
Therefore, CC'ing Alexey for the EC bit.
For review, and hopefully to go up to 2.6.25
Patch #2: (acer-wmi) - No Change
For review, and (rather tentatively here) 2.6.25 material?
Patch #3: (tc1100-wmi)
RFC only, needs actual testing on the hardware, and probably very broken.
Waiting on Matthew Garrett to get some free time to test this.
Bluetooth renamed to jogdial, as per comments from Joshua Wise.
Patch #4: (WMI sysfs interface) - No Change
RFC only (see patch #5 for reason). Adds interface
under /sys/devices/virtual/wmi
Changes: Added 'string' file to each GUID, which reports whether the GUID has
the 'string' flag set (userspace needs to know for converting from its'
format to ASCII and back).
Patch #5: (WMI sysfs workaround) - No change
Temporary hack, needed to get patch #4 working, due to a limitation on bus_id
length (Kay Sievers is apparently working on this, ref Greg KH[1]). This
should _NOT_ be applied to any upstream kernel.
