The patches (I'll send them follow this mail) introduce ACPI PNP layer and make ACPI work with legacy devices better (such as avoid resources conflict between PNP devices and PCI devices). With the patches, some ACPI drivers such as 8250_acpi, ACPI motherboard driver can be removed, since now we have a unified interface for PNPBios and ACPI PNP. The patches are against 2.6.9 and tested at both IA32 and IA64. Please give your comments.
