No the problem is the ACPI irq routing code is trying to piggyback on the existing MPS-specific data structures, and it's generally a hack. So yes mochel is right, but it is also purging MPS-ities from common code as well. I've done some preliminary work in this area and it doesn't seem to break anything (yet) but a rewrite in this area imho should not be rushed out the door. And, I think the above bugs can be fixed w/o the rewrite. > +o mochel: ACPI suspend doesn't work. Important, not > cricital. Pat is > + working it. Go, Pat, go!
