Hi, Rafael v2: split patches (I know you have opinions on PATCH 3, but let me include it here now, we can resolve it later) We have ported below of your GPE patches into ACPICA code base. 0001-ACPI-ACPICA-Do-not-execute-_PRW-methods-during-initi.patch 0002-ACPI-ACPICA-Fail-acpi_gpe_wakeup-if-ACPI_GPE_CAN_WAK.patch 0003-ACPI-ACPICA-Simplify-acpi_ev_initialize_gpe_block.patch 0004-ACPI-ACPICA-Fix-reference-counting-problems-with-GPE.patch 0005-ACPI-ACPICA-Defer-enabling-of-runtime-GPEs-v3.patch You can find the ACPICA port at, http://git.moblin.org/cgit.cgi/acpica/commit/?id=3bc77e86ae03b3ceb7241f224053e399fb3f56b2 As the port, some changes were made, function and variable renamed, etc, and new features were added, implicit notify, global event handler, etc. These changes and new features introduce a lot of ACPICA/linux GPE code divergence. So this series of patches is to minimize this type of divergence.
