Subject: Re: [PATCH]: ACPI: Add the module param check for processor.max_cstate
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2009 23:24:23 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.00.0904232323410.15843@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: prevent processor.max_cstate=0 boot crash

As processor.max_cstate is an init-time-only modparam,
sanity checking it at init-time is sufficient.
