ACPI-specific hacks do not have any business at all in the scsi layer. Ok. What's the right layer to do this? The current ACPI/anything else glue depends on specific knowledge about the bus concerned, and needs callbacks registered before devices are added to that bus. Doing it in the sata layer would have the potential for unhappiness on mixed sata/scsi machines. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@srcf.ucam.org - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
