Will you please look at this thread http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=127608894610765&w=4? Before this patch, I followed your comment and put the ACPI IPMI opregion code into the IPMI_SI module. But in fact the IPMI opregion code has nothing to do with the ipmi system interface. It is enough to use the IPMI API interface. In such case maybe it is a better choice to put the IPMI opregion code into the separate file. (In fact Corey suggests that the IPMI opregion code be put into the separate file). > > But I don't think this is the right design.

If we decide to put the IPMI opregion code into the separate file, the next is how to *correctly* create the IPMI user interface between ACPI subsystem and the corresponding BMC controller.The user interface is the communication channel used to send/receive IPMI message to/from the BMC controller. In such case we will use the IPMI smi watcher to create/destroy the IPMI user interface between ACPI and the corresponding BMC controller. But it is noted that we should assure whether the corresponding IPMI BMC controller is registered by using ACPI detection mechanism when creating the relationship between ACPI and IPMI BMC controller. This is realized by comparing the "device handle". And before comparing the "device handle", maybe we will have to get the corresponding device lists with the device id "IPI0001". Do you have other idea about how to *correctly* create the user interface between ACPI and IPMI BMC controller? > > The problem with replicating this in acpi_ipmi is that it breaks > the modularity of PNP.

I will do some cleanup next time.
