I agree the ACPI CA is a nuisance. But in this case, we're making a mountain out of a molehill. I suspect that if somebody spent the 15 minutes to make the ARRAY_SIZE patch work in both the Linux ACPI CA and the generic Intel one and license it appropriately, Len would happily apply the patch. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
