Henrique,
FYI, A pull of this branch will take everything included underneath it.
In this case, it will take all the contents of acpi-test that this branch is built upon.

That is fine for testing, but it isn't a path to upstream b/c
not everything in acpi-test is going to get sent up to Linus at the same time as ibm-acpi.

For this batch, I'll just re-parent the series, or re-commit the e-mail patches.
But in the future, if you base your patches directly against some snapshot of Linus' tree
and don't include anything else besides your changes, then I can pull it directly.

Of course you can do both by checking your changes in on a branch off of Linus'
baseline and then merging onto your mirror of acpi-test. In that event I'd
pull from your branch based on Linus' mirror.

thanks,
