Subject: [PATCH] kill unused ACPI configgery
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2004 22:58:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040317225843.GV25059@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> (raw)
The config ACPI helptext isn't used because the option is never
presented to the user.
ACPI_KERNEL_CONFIG is unused.
ACPI_INTERPRETER is now set in drivers/acpi/Kconfig.

- ACPI/OSPM support for Linux is currently under development. As such,
- this support is preliminary and EXPERIMENTAL. Configuring ACPI
- support enables kernel interfaces that allow higher level software
- (OSPM) to manipulate ACPI defined hardware and software interfaces,
- including the evaluation of ACPI control methods. If unsure, choose
- N here. Note, this option will enlarge your kernel by about 120K.
-
- This support requires an ACPI compliant platform (hardware/firmware).
- If both ACPI and Advanced Power Management (APM) support are
- configured, whichever is loaded first shall be used.
-
- This code DOES NOT currently provide a complete OSPM implementation
- -- it has not yet reached APM's level of functionality. When fully
- implemented, Linux ACPI/OSPM will provide a more robust functional
- replacement for legacy configuration and power management
- interfaces, including the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP
- BIOS), the Multi-Processor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced
- Power Management specification (APM).
-
- Linux support for ACPI/OSPM is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
- Component Architecture (ACPI CA). The latest ACPI CA source code,
- documentation, debug builds, and implementation status information
- can be downloaded from:
- <http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm>.
-
- The ACPI Sourceforge project may also be of interest:
- <http://sf.net/projects/acpi/>

- If you say `Y' here, Linux's ACPI support will use the

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon
the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
