No, we don't always clear BM_STS with acpi_idle -- we check (and clear) that bit only if the acpi tables tell us to do so. BM_STS is a status bit, not a control bit. It is a surprise that the NM10 chip-set requires that it be cleared -- apparently once at boot time. No, I don't want intel_idle to know about this chip-set quirk, and I don't want to add an IO access to the idle hot path if we can possibly avoid it. thanks, Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
