@@ -273,3 +273,48 @@ Why: Speedstep-centrino driver with ACPI hooks and acpi-cpufreq driver are | |
Who: Venkatesh Pallipadi <[email protected]> | ||
|
||
--------------------------- | ||
|
||
What: ACPI hotkey driver (CONFIG_ACPI_HOTKEY) | ||
When: 2.6.21 | ||
Why: hotkey.c was an attempt to consolidate multiple drivers that use | ||
ACPI to implement hotkeys. However, hotkeys are not documented | ||
in the ACPI specification, so the drivers used undocumented | ||
vendor-specific hooks and turned out to be more different than | ||
the same. | ||
|
||
Further, the keys and the features supplied by each platform | ||
are different, so there will always be a need for | ||
platform-specific drivers. | ||
|
||
So the new plan is to delete hotkey.c and instead, work on the | ||
platform specific drivers to try to make them look the same | ||
to the user when they supply the same features. | ||
|
||
hotkey.c has always depended on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL | ||

Who: Len Brown <[email protected]> | ||
|
||
--------------------------- | ||
|
||
What: /sys/firmware/acpi/namespace | ||
When: 2.6.21 | ||
Why: The ACPI namespace is effectively the symbol list for | ||
the BIOS. The device names are completely arbitrary | ||
and have no place being exposed to user-space. | ||
|
||
For those interested in the BIOS ACPI namespace, | ||
the BIOS can be extracted and disassembled with acpidump | ||
and iasl as documented in the pmtools package here: | ||
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils | ||

||
--------------------------- | ||
|
||
What: /proc/acpi/button | ||
When: August 2007 | ||
Why: /proc/acpi/button has been replaced by events to the input layer | ||
since 2.6.20. | ||
