I'm rather hoping that they'll notice the mailing list thread or that someone else who knows what's going on with them does - as Geert pointed out there's a considerable number of defconfigs that have this turned off. It seems more sensible to get some idea if this seems sane to people in the general case before going trying to identify and contact so many individuals. If there are systems that really require disabling CONFIG_PM we probably need to add stuff to Kconfig to make sure it can't be enabled anyway; this shouldn't enable any new configurations. -- 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/
