Subject: [PATCH] Improve acpi debug documentation
Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 13:53:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1177394002.9072.98.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Now we use acpi.debug_level and acpi.debug_layer as kernel boot
parameters instead of acpi_dbg_level and acpi_dbg_layer.
But the document is not updated in time.
Thanks to Andi Kleen for pointing it out.

This is the patch to update documentation for ACPI debug option.
