Using 'acpi_gbl_reduced_hardware' flag outside the ACPI code is a mistake.
ideally, the presence of that flag in the firmware table will clear/set more global settings, for example, having that flag should cause the 8042 input code to not probe for the 8042. for interrupts, there really ought to be a "apic first/only" mode, which is then used on all modern systems (not just hw reduced). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
