I want to move the Linux-ACPI code and the ACPICA core out of drivers/ simply because they are not drivers, and never will be. The actual ACPI drivers, OTOH, would remain in drivers/acpi/. So looking around... arch/ doesn't make sense for something shared by x86 and ia64 firmware/ seems to be about software that doesn't run on the CPU. kernel/ is evidently sacred ground. So I suggest "platform/acpi/" or if we can't imagine any other cross architecture platform code code that isn't device drivers, then simply "acpi/" Would you find that less offensive? thanks, Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- 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
