Hello, some months ago I sent to the MIPS and ARM mail lists a patch to unify the several APM emulation codes adding a new dedicated directory so it can be used to put there the per board specific code avoiding code duplications (see files ./arch/arm/kernel/apm.c, ./arch/mips/kernel/apm.c and ./arch/sh/kernel/apm.c that are almost the same). The patch is here "http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2006-07/msg00144.html"; and it has been lost in the deep space... The target is to remove the files ./arch/{arm,mips,sh}/kernel/apm.c and to add files drivers/apm-emu/{Kconfig,Makefile,apm-emu.c}. Now I try on this list in order to have some advice if this could be a good idea and what about if I add a new class "apm_emu" on the sysfs support with proper registrations functions.
