Long term they are definitely needed, if only for the case where a
drive password has been set in BIOS. Otherwise when you resume, you
won't be able to talk to your disk. Additionally the preferences
(such drive acoustic settings) aren't reprogrammed, but that is of
lesser importance.
On laptops, the ACPI tables sometimes also hold special
vendor-specific taskfiles to work around device-specific or
drive-firmware-specific problems.
Agreed, 100%.
So why aren't they in yet? ;)
Hey, I'm ready for them...
Now that Tejun's EH work is done, the floodgates are open...
