Within built-in, it splits the regular GPL Linux/ACPI files from the dual-licensed ACPICA files. Further, the private ACPICA headers are moved in with the ACPICA files to prevent future temptation to go behind the public ACPICA interfaces. This series sits on top of the latest ACPICA code, and is included on the 2.6.28-based acpica branch here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6.git acpica cheers, -Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center
