Do distros in addition to SuSE concur they want to ship this way?
The last time we tried to make debugging easier we added
ACPI_CUSTOM_METHOD, which allowed root to over-ride an AML method
on a running system. Distro security-minded people were not amused.
thanks,
-Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center
ps I noticed your reference to acpidump in the README.
That reminded me to push it to the kernel source tree.
Its new home will be tools/power/acpi/
