1 1.1 mycroft Important things to make ACPI useful on more machines: 2 1.1 mycroft 3 1.4 mycroft * Split the Region initialization into two passes -- one that fills in 4 1.4 mycroft AddressSpace pointers, and one that calls _REG methods. Right now we 5 1.4 mycroft can lose due to a _REG method for one Region calling a method that 6 1.4 mycroft accesses another Region that hasn't been fixed up yet. (Affects 7 1.4 mycroft Sverre Froyen's HP Omnibook 6000.) 8 1.4 mycroft 9 1.3 mycroft * Fix problems with ACPI_PCI_FIXUP. CardBus slots do not work in some 10 1.4 mycroft machines currently. (Affects many machines.) 11 1.3 mycroft 12 1.2 mycroft * Add support for attaching acpiec devices early using the ECDT. Some 13 1.2 mycroft systems need this because otherwise their _INI methods try to access 14 1.4 mycroft regions in the EC space before it's initialized. (Affects Steve 15 1.4 mycroft Rumble's Thinkpad T23.) 16 1.4 mycroft 17 1.4 mycroft * Deal with the "implicit return" problem for older laptops. (Mostly 18 1.4 mycroft affects older Toshiba laptops, like the Portege 7140.) 19 1.1 mycroft 20 1.1 mycroft * Fix the locking protocol in acpiec. 21 1.1 mycroft 22 1.1 mycroft * Support thermal levels and fan control in acpitz. 23 1.1 mycroft 24 1.3 mycroft - mycroft, 2003/11/02 25
