[Len Brown <len.brown-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Hi Marcelo, please do a 

	bk pull http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/linux-acpi-release-2.4.23

	This request includes the earlier x86_64 ACPI build fix,
	plus fixes two crash regressions due to recent deltas,
	plus picks up Andrew Morton's tweak to printk from 2.6.

thanks,
-Len

   [PATCH] make printk more robust with "null" pointers
   
   Expand printk's traditional handling of null pointers so that
anything in the
   first page is considered a null pointer.
   
   This gives us better behaviour when someone (acpi..) accidentally
prints a
   string which is embedded in a struct, the pointer to which is null.
