So if this is causing conflicts in linux-next then i'd suggest for you to please do this "git mv drivers/misc/ drivers/x86/" rename (with which i fully agree!) right after v2.6.29-rc1 - or near the end of the -rc1 merge window. In any case, please keep it in a separate branch in the ACPI tree so that we can reconsider the ordering of this change in the future as well - should it cause problems. Thanks, Ingo
