You'll have to ask Len (cc'd) what he thinks about the ACPI piece, but I don't like the PCI piece. It's the same idea that Greg already said he wouldn't put in the driver core. Why would it be better to add this complexity in the ACPI and PCI cores? I still think you need to work on the ACPI/PCI binding issue. Yes, it's hard, but I'm not in favor of avoiding that hard work by adding kludges everywhere.
