No, we don't support such a model, sorry, just make it a sequence of numbers and go from there. If a vendor wants to modify the kernel to add new values, they can rebuild the core code as well. I really don't like the whole idea of values in the first place, can't we just do things in the correct order in the code, and not be driven by random magic values? thanks, greg k-h -- 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
