What happens when this is not applied is that the accounting gets screwed up, powertop looks wrong, and in rare cases -- non-optimal c-state selection decisions could be made. So the actual symptom is mostly cosmetic -- but the possibility of puzzled or even alarmed users may be justification to backport. But as this will not happen on most machines, and the failure is not severe, I don't hink a crusade to backport to every possible old release would make sense. 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
