Subject: Re: [PATCH] resend, early ACPI init
Date: 15 Feb 2005 15:47:03 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1108500423.2096.285.camel@d845pe> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1108497779.7373.24.camel@tdi>
Rather than add a CONFIG option to enable/disable ACPI extra early,
could it be possible to simply enable ACPI earlier and leave it enabled
on all platforms?
I'm really not excited about yet another CONFIG option -- we need fewer,
not more. And if earlier init is necessary on one machine, we may find
over time that we need it on others too.
Indeed, in 2.6 we moved most of the init earlier into acpi_early_init(),
but that wasn't as early as this, and didn't include the object_init,
which apparently is what you're looking for.
I'm also nervous about enabling/disabling ACPI mode and then enabling it
again -- this could risk unforseen firmware interactions.
thanks,
-Len
