Would it be by the 6.8 merge window or the following one? I wish I knew. I submitted ACPICA changes for the online capable bit since I had to add additional flags on top (ie DMA coherent) and it would not make sense to submit the latter without the former. I'd be great if the ACPICA headers can make it into Linux for the upcoming merge window, not sure what I can do to fasttrack the process though (I shall ping the maintainers).
