Note that I will be taking a sabbatical from Intel this summer. Andi Kleen will maintain Linux/ACPI while I'm away. thanks! -Len ps. individual patches are available on linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org and a consolidated plain patch is available here: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/release/2.6.26/acpi-release-20080609-2.6.26-rc8.diff.gz Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt | 9 +++++++++ drivers/acpi/bay.c | 3 +++ drivers/acpi/dock.c | 3 +++ drivers/acpi/glue.c | 3 +++ drivers/thermal/Kconfig | 9 +++++++++ drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c | 4 ++-- include/linux/thermal.h | 6 ++---- 7 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) through these commits: Len Brown (1): dock: bay: Don't call acpi_walk_namespace() when ACPI is disabled.

Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n until some time after libsensors 2.10.7 ships so those users can run the latest kernel. libsensors 3.x is already fixed -- those users can use CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=y now.
