Modify modpost (file2alias.c) to add acpi*:XYZ0001: alias in modules.alias
like:
grep acpi /lib/modules/2.6.22-rc4-default/modules.alias
alias acpi*:SNY5001:* sony_laptop
alias acpi*:SNY6001:* sony_laptop
for e.g. the sony_laptop module.
This module matches against all ACPI devices with a HID or CID of SNY5001
or SNY6001

Export an uevent and modalias sysfs file containing the string:
[MODALIAS=]acpi:PNP0C0C:
additional CIDs are concatenated at the end.

<title>x86_64: fake pxm-to-node mapping for fake numa</title>

<content type='text'>
For NUMA emulation, our SLIT should represent the true NUMA topology of the
system but our proximity domain to node ID mapping needs to reflect the
emulated state.

When NUMA emulation has successfully setup fake nodes on the system, a new
function, acpi_fake_nodes() is called.  This function determines the proximity
domain (_PXM) for each true node found on the system.  It then finds which
emulated nodes have been allocated on this true node as determined by its
starting address.  The node ID to PXM mapping is changed so that each fake
node ID points to the PXM of the true node that it is located on.

If the machine failed to register a SLIT, then we assume there is no special
requirement for emulated node affinity so we use the default LOCAL_DISTANCE,
which is newly exported to this code, as our measurement if the emulated nodes
appear in the same PXM.  Otherwise, we use REMOTE_DISTANCE.

PXM_INVAL and NID_INVAL are also exported to the ACPI header file so that we
can compare node_to_pxm() results in generic code (in this case, the SRAT
code).

In acpi_scan_nodes(), we immediately return -1 if acpi_numa &lt;= 0, meaning
we haven't detected any underlying ACPI topology or we have explicitly
disabled its use from the command-line with numa=noacpi.

acpi_table_print_srat_entry() and acpi_table_parse_srat() are only
referenced within drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we can mark them as static and
remove their prototypes from the header file.

Likewise, pxm_to_node_map[] and node_to_pxm_map[] are only used within
drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we mark them as static and remove their externs
from the header file.

The automatic 'result' variable is unused in acpi_numa_init(), so it's
removed.

Move "debug during resume from s2ram" into the variable we already use
for real-mode flags to simplify code. It also closes nasty trap for
the user in acpi_sleep_setup; order of parameters actually mattered there,
acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode doing something different from
acpi_sleep=s3_mode,s3_bios.

Add a feature allowing the user to make the system beep during a resume from
suspend to RAM, on x86_64 and i386.

This is useful for the users with broken resume from RAM, so that they can
verify if the control reaches the kernel after a wake-up event.

<title>acpi,msi-laptop: Fall back to EC polling mode for MSI laptop specific EC commands</title>

<id>00eb43a1897a8845d0edb198cec69ac5f1f299dd</id>
<content type='text'>
The ACPI EC that is used in MSI laptops knows some non-standard
commands for changing the screen brighntess and a few other things,
which are used by the msi-laptop.c driver. Unfortunately for these
commands no GPE events for IBF and OBF are triggered. Since nowadays
the EC code uses the ec_intr=1 mode by default, this causes these
operations to timeout, although they don't fail. In result, all
operations that you can do with the msi-laptop.c driver take more or
less 1s to complete, which is awfully slow.

In one of the more recent kernels (2.6.20?) the EC subsystem has been
revamped. With that change the EC timeout has been increased. before
that increase the MSI EC accesses were slow -- but not *that* slow,
hence I took notice of this limitation of the MSI EC hardware only very
recently.

The standard EC operations on the MSI EC as defined in the ACPI spec
support GPE events properly.

The following patch adds a new argument "force_poll" to the
ec_transaction() function (and friends). If set to 1, the function
will poll for IBF/OBF even if ec_intr=1 is enabled. If set to 0 the
current behaviour is used. The msi-laptop driver is modified to make
use of this new flag, so that OBF/IBF is polled for the special MSI EC
transactions -- but only for them.
