Hi Len,

* Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com>:
> This patch series eliminates static boot-time binding of ACPI
> and PCI devices, and introduces an API to perform this lookup
> during runtime.
> 
> This change has the following advantages:
> 
> 	- eliminates struct acpi_device vs struct pci_dev lifetime issues
> 	- lays groundwork for eliminating .bind/.unbind from acpi_device_ops
> 	- lays more groundwork for eliminating .start from acpi_device_ops
> 	  and thus simplifying ACPI drivers
> 	- whacks out a lot of code
> 
> This patchset is based on lenb/test (66c74fa1d4).

I'm going to address Bjorn's comments and respin this series.

Thanks.
