Subject: [git pull request] ACPI & driver patches for 2.6.31-rc1

Hi Linus,

please pull from: 

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6.git release

This includes a workaround for a just-merged oops regression --
reducing the bug's severity while we get a proper fix in place.

It also includes some driver-specific patches that were
staged for the merge window, but missed-the bus because
of upstream conflicts with patches from another tree.

This will update the files shown below.

thanks!

      ACPI: video: prevent NULL deref in acpi_get_pci_dev()

with this log:

commit 412af97838828bc6d035a1902c8974f944663da6

    ACPI: video: prevent NULL deref in acpi_get_pci_dev()
    
    ref: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/857228/focus=857468
    
    When the ACPI video driver initializes, it does a namespace walk
    looking for for supported devices. When we find an appropriate
    handle, we walk up the ACPI tree looking for a PCI root bus, and
    then walk back down the PCI bus, assuming that every device
    inbetween is a P2P bridge.
    
    This assumption is not correct, and is reported broken on at
    least:
    
    	Dell Latitude E6400
    	ThinkPad X61
    	Dell XPS M1330
    
    Add a NULL deref check to prevent boot panics.

    eeepc-laptop: get the right value for CMSG
    
    CMSG is an ACPI method used to find features available on
    an Eee PC. But some features are never repported, even if present.
    
    If the getter of a feature is present, this patch will set
    the corresponding bit in cmsg.

    eeepc-laptop: Register as a pci-hotplug device
    
    The eee contains a logically (but not physically) hotpluggable PCIe slot.
    Currently this is handled by adding or removing the PCI device in response
    to rfkill events, but if a user has forced pciehp to bind to it (with the
    force=1 argument) then both drivers will try to handle the event and
    hilarity (in the form of oopses) will ensue. This can be avoided by having
    eee-laptop register the slot as a hotplug slot. Only one of pciehp and
    eee-laptop will successfully register this, avoiding the problem.
