I hope I got everything right. Here's what I understood so far: The ACPI Subsystem in the kernel is derived from intel sources. I searched the web for information about that and finally found http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm Is that the right one? So what I would have to do in order to "make the ARRAY_SIZE patch work in both the Linux ACPI CA and the generic Intel one" is to modify those sources aswell, send a patch to Intel and another one back to the lkml. Is that right? Or am I totally wrong? Cheers, Andi
