[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh-N3TV7GIv+o9fyO9Q7EP/yw@public.gmane.org>]

Len,

Please pull from:
git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git for-upstream/acpi-test

to receive the following patches *already* in acpi-test:
      ACPI: ibm-acpi: kill trailing whitespace
      ACPI: ibm-acpi: rename some identifiers
      ACPI: ibm-acpi: add header file
      ACPI: ibm-acpi: organize code
      ACPI: ibm-acpi: update copyright notice
      ACPI: ibm-acpi: update documentation
      ACPI: ibm-acpi: move driver to drivers/misc hierarchy
      ACPI: ibm-acpi: rename driver to thinkpad-acpi
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: cleanup Kconfig for thinkpad-acpi
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add compatibility MODULE_ALIAS entry
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: cleanup after rename
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: update MAINTAINERS

      (the above should not cause any probles if you already pulled
      from that branch, as I have not rebased the branch or modified
      any of the above patches)

and to receive the following **new** patches:
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: rename register_ibmacpi_subdriver
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: rename one stray use of ibm-acpi in a comment
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: rename module glue
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: rename thinkpad constants
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: update fan firmware documentation
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add debug mode
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: clean up probing and move init to subdrivers
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add subdriver debug statements
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: uncouple subdriver init from ibms struct
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: improve thinkpad detection
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: use bitfields to hold subdriver flags
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: use bitfields for module flags
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: prepare for device model conversion
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: mark acpi helper functions __must_check
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: clean up hotkey subdriver
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: cleanup bluetooth and wan for sysfs conversion
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: cleanup video subdriver
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: clean up CMOS commands subdriver
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: cleanup thermal subdriver for sysfs conversion
      ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: improve fan watchdog messages

This is the preparatory work for the sysfs conversion.  Some of the
conversion is already ready for merge (the part that is
hwmon-compatible), and I will send a pull request with it soon.

Please merge for 2.6.22.
