I recently uploaded the first part (new features excluded) of my v2
patches at http://www.absence.it/vaio-acpi/source/patches/patchset-v2/
to help you and receive new feedbacks.

Still no feedbacks...

still not much time. what I noticed so far:
- patches are 14 instead of 25, any reason?

Because writing patches is time consuming. The first 14 patches include code cleaning/reorganization and improvements that can be merged immediately (if they look fine now), while the new features are a bit more problematic. Please, just review these 14 patches at the moment.

- still stopping handlers evaluation if the magi SncSupported string is
   not present

I do believe it's a good thing to have it. Do you prefer to drop the while patch #14 or just to change that check?

- the function naming in patch 5 looks ok.

Do you wish to include the change from

	struct sony_nc_handles {
		u16 cap[0x10];
		struct device_attribute devattr;
	};

	static struct sony_nc_handles *handles;

to

	struct sony_nc_handles_list {
		u16 cap[0x10];
		struct device_attribute devattr;
	};

	static struct sony_nc_handles_list *handles;

as well?

Once again, post the patches here with proper description, it's easier
for everyone to review and comment the changes.

I'm still waiting for a few replies [1], I'd rather avoid spending time to send the patches twice. As soon as everything look fine (we are close) I will send the patches again.
