Hi,

these are against 2.6.32, but patch fine against latest
acpi release tree with a small offset.

Would be great to see them mainline soon.
The first is IMO a must for stable, eventually both should
end up there.

Thanks,

    Thomas

I guess I don't object to these.

I still hope that we can someday get rid of these external calls
to acpi_bus_add(), acpi_bus_start(), etc., and instead have the
Linux/ACPI code handle hotplug itself and call the driver .add()
and .remove() methods like normal subsystems do.

But until we can do that, I guess we have to patch up the
current code so it at least doesn't crash.
