Reviewers do not be alarmed by the large number of patches, the gist of the series is in patches 6-13, the earlier ones are a few simple prepararion patches, and the later ones all port over drivers to the new API one at a time. I've had to jump through some hoops to make it possible to still build the acpi_video code as a module. One downside of this is that the kernel commandline parameters have a changed prefix now. If people do not like this, an alternative would to change CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO from a tristate to a bool, iow either build it in, or do not build it at all. Regards, Hans
