Re: 100 ms boot time increase regression in acpi_init()/acpi_scan_bus()

Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker speaking.

Top-posting for once, to make this easy accessible to everyone.

@Rafael or any other @acpi/@pm developer: what's the status here?
Neither in this thread nor in the bug ticket anything happened afaics.
Or is a 100ms boot time increase considered "not a regression"?

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I'm getting a lot of
reports on my table. I can only look briefly into most of them and lack
knowledge about most of the areas they concern. I thus unfortunately
will sometimes get things wrong or miss something important. I hope
that's not the case here; if you think it is, don't hesitate to tell me
in a public reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record
straight.
