The hit looks to be around 300K or less. We've been "open" to this issue ever since we started using ACPI tables "in-place" many years ago. Only Toshiba Satellite has failed. Also, now we check for table corruption. I think there need to be limits on the extent that we make Linux stupid in the name of Windows bug compatibility. If we find that many vendors and models run into this, we can always re-consider. 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
