Ugh. Really? People have been fairly careful about making sure that the x86 SoC code is selected correctly at runtime, and losing that because ACPICA is broken would be a shame. I think this is something that needs to support runtime switching even if there's also support for building kernels that only implement the reduced hardware profile. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
