Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: install ACPI table handler before any dynamic tables being loaded
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 10:06:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1288058814.2210.165.camel@rui> (raw)


ACPI table sysfs I/F is broken by commit

78f1699659963fff97975df44db6d5dbe7218e55
Author: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com>

    ACPI: processor: call _PDC early

because dynamic SSDT tables may be loaded in _PDC,
before installing the ACPI table handler.
As a result, the sysfs I/F of these dynamic tables are
located at  /sys/firmware/acpi/tables instead of
/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic, which is not true.

Invoke acpi_sysfs_init() before acpi_early_processor_set_pdc(),
so that the table handler is installed before any dynamic tables loaded.
