Hi Linus, please pull from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6.git release This fixes a couple of 2.6.24 regressions, and also installs the latest DMI blacklist. While the DMI blacklist is a lot of text, it is almost entirely about avoiding dmesg spam to make the release more supportable. Indeed, I plan to submit the DMI update to 2.6.23.stable. This will update the files shown below. thanks! -Len ps. individual patches are available on linux-acpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and a consolidated plain patch is available here: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/release/2.6.24/acpi-release-20070126-2.6.24-rc8.diff.gz drivers/acpi/blacklist.c | 381 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/acpi/bus.c | 2 drivers/acpi/ec.c | 26 + drivers/acpi/fan.c | 40 ++ drivers/acpi/osl.c | 173 ++++++++-- drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c | 4 drivers/firmware/dmi-id.c | 2 drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c | 8 include/acpi/acpi_bus.h | 3 include/linux/acpi.h | 7 include/linux/dmi.h | 4 11 files changed, 591 insertions(+), 59 deletions(-) through these commits: Alexey Starikovskiy (2): ACPI: processor: Fix null pointer dereference in throttling ACPI: EC: fix dmesg spam regression Len Brown (9): DMI: move dmi_available declaration to linux/dmi.h DMI: create dmi_get_slot() ACPI: create acpi_dmi_dump() ACPI: on OSI(Linux), print needed DMI rather than requesting dmidecode output ACPI: Delete Intel Customer Reference Board (CRB) from OSI(Linux) DMI list ACPI: make _OSI(Linux) console messages smarter ACPI: Add ThinkPad R61, ThinkPad T61 to OSI(Linux) white-list ACPI: DMI blacklist to reduce console warnings on OSI(Linux) systems.

This DMI blacklist reduces the console messages on systems which have a BIOS that invokes OSI(Linux). As the DMI blacklist already knows about these systems, the request for DMI info itself is disabled. Further, if OSI(Linux) has already been determined to have no beneift, we disable the console message requesting acpi_osi=Linux test results.

So when it is seen in the BIOS for an Intel Customer Reference Board, Linux should ignore its effect by default, and should complain loudly. Otherwise, the reference BIOS will go unfixed, and the bad BIOS will spread to the field. Users of this board can get the old behavior with "acpi_osi=Linux" As this was the only entry, delete acpi_osl_dmi_table[].
