I sent them to Len in August to no effect and they've been sitting there since then. If they're still relevant and needed then they will need to be redone, retested and resent, sorry. -- 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
