Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] ACPI: Override arbitrary ACPI tables via initrd for debugging

Do distros in addition to SuSE concur they want to ship this way?

The last time we tried to make debugging easier we added
ACPI_CUSTOM_METHOD, which allowed root to over-ride an AML method
on a running system.  Distro security-minded people were not amused.

thanks,

ps I noticed your reference to acpidump in the README.
That reminded me to push it to the kernel source tree.
Its new home will be tools/power/acpi/
