ACPI patch status (2.6)

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

FYI,
The following changes are currently in the ACPI test tree
http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/linux-acpi-test-2.6.0
available for testing before push to 2.6.0

The associated plain patches are also available here:
ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/test/

Yes, it has been too long since the last push into 2.6.
The good news is that we'll have finally got 2.6 back in sync with 2.4.

If you seen any regressions, please let me know.

thanks,
-Len
