Hi Jeff,

argl. Appearently I'm in Yeltsin mode.

Anyway: I'm also have finished an updated version of the ACPI patches.
They are also based upon the patches by Randy Dunlap but with some 
improvements:

- Omit the namespace walk for SATA devices. We can really trust the ACPI 
layer to find out the correct device. If not the ACPI is buggered anyway 
and we shouldn't even try to continue.
- Make the control over the ACPI execution more finegrained as some 
methods (most notably _GTF) are downright disastrous on PATA devices, 
whereas you really want to call _GTM / _STM on these to have them 
properly resumed after suspend to RAM.
- Only export the symbols we really have to :-)
- Proper integration with the new EH code. This is actually an error in 
the patch by Kristen; for new-style EH the ACPI functions will never be 
called :-(

If you consider this a duplicate I'm happy to rebase my patch on top of 
Kristens.

Comments etc are welcome.

Cheers,

Hannes
