Thanks. Yes I added it to this series since it is not strictly
necessary (ie it does not fix anything) in the mainline, but
it *is* necessary for this whole series to function when we
boot through ACPI.
I will send it out in a separate patch and fold changes you
request below, it would be good to have some coverage for
it before merging it.
Thank you !
Lorenzo
