Subject: help for ACPI_CONTAINER sucks
Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 15:21:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050115222129.GB10070@colo.lackof.org> (raw)


Help for ACPI_CONTAINER is just useless:
                This is the ACPI generic container driver which supports
		ACPI0004, PNP0A05 and PNP0A06 devices.

Help should explain what those devices are and what might not work
unless I enable ACPI_CONTAINER. As a !acpi_developer I have no clue
and am just annoyed by the question.

Here is a fictious example (I have no clue about ACPI) might provide
some guidance on what I was expecting:
	The ACPI generic container driver provides support for:
	ACPI0004 - Hotplug IO
	PNP0A05  - Hotplug CPU
	PNP0A06  - Hotplug Memory
	
	One can use those devices but can't access hotplug features
	unless this option is enabled.

	If one selects "m", this driver can be loaded with
	"modprobe acpi_container".

hth,
grant
