The current Linus tree includes generic ACPI support for deep C-states on SMP machines. (deep means higher than C1) I don't have any problem with people having platform specific modules to handle platform specific features. However, if the system really intends to support SMP ACPI C-states deeper than C1 and the generic ACPI code doesn't support it, then it is either a Linux/ACPI bug or a BIOS bug -- file away:-) I.e. The whole concept of ACPI is that you shoulud _not_ need a platform specific driver to accomplish this. cheers, -Len - 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/
