Subject: [PATCH] PNP: update kernel parameter documentation
Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:30:11 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080729212959.26772.99685.stgit@tigger.helgaas> (raw)


Remove obsolete "pnpbios=res" and "pnpbios=no-res" options, note that
"pnp_reserve_{irq,dma,io,mem}=" work for all PNP (not just ISAPNP) and
add formats.
