There's no reason why a future machine couldn't have this WMI interface along with a working INFO implementation. For now that's theoretical though, so I'll change it to use the guid instead of the blacklist. If such a machine appears in the future we can deal with it then. -- 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
