    some laptop requires SCI_EN being set directly on resume,
    or else they hung somewhere in the resume code path.
    
    We already have a blacklist for these laptops but we still need
    this option, especially when debugging some suspend/resume problems,
    in case there are systems that need this workaround and are not yet
    in the blacklist.

    ACPI: WMI: Survive BIOS with duplicate GUIDs
    
    It would appear that in BIOS's with nVidia hooks, the GUID
    05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910 is duplicated. For now, the simplest
    solution is to just ignore any duplicate GUIDs. These particular hooks are not
    currently supported/ used in the kernel, so whoever does that can figure out
    what the 'right' solution should be (if there's a better one).

    The commit 1fdd407f4e3f2ecb453954cbebb6c22491c61853 incorrectly made driver
    abort loading when known GUID is present when it should have done exactly
    the opposite.

    When acpi_evaluate_object() is passed ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER,
    the caller must kfree the returned buffer if AE_OK is returned.
    
    The callers of wmi_get_event_data() pass ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER,
    and thus must check its return value before accessing
    or kfree() on the buffer.

    Emphasize that that wmi_install_notify_handler() returns an acpi_status
    rather than -errno by by testing ACPI_SUCCESS(), ACPI_FAILURE().
    
    No functional change in this patch, but this confusion caused a bug in dell-wmi.

    ACPI video: no warning message if "acpi_backlight=vendor" is used
    
    AML code always sends notifications to ACPI video device,
    even if we disable the ACPI backlight control by using
    boot option "acpi_backlight=vendor".
    
    In this case we should not print any warning message.

commit 27d0567ab635bc2af11be48f91c8d5a7a2dca2e4

Date:   Thu Dec 17 08:50:25 2009 +0100

    ACPI: fix ACPI=n allmodconfig build
    
    Today's -tip failed to build because commit
    9e368fa011d4e0aa050db348d69514900520e40b ("ipmi: add PNP discovery (ACPI
    namespace via PNPACPI)") from today's upstream kernel causes the following
    build failure on x86, for CONFIG_ACPI=n && CONFIG_IPMI_SI=y:
    
     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3208: error: 'ipmi_pnp_driver' undeclared (first use in this function)
     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3208: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3208: error: for each function it appears in.)
     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3334: error: 'ipmi_pnp_driver' undeclared (first use in this function)
    
    The reason is that the ipmi_pnp_driver depends on ACPI facilities and is only
    made available under ACPI - while the registration and unregistration is made
    dependent on CONFIG_PNP:
    
     #ifdef CONFIG_PNP
     	pnp_register_driver(&ipmi_pnp_driver);
     #endif
    
    The solution is to only register this driver under ACPI. (Also, the CONFIG_PNP
    dependency is not needed because pnp_register_driver() is stubbed out in the
    !CONFIG_PNP case.)

    thinkpad-acpi: make volume subdriver optional
    
    Allow the user to choose through Kconfig if the Console Audio Control
    interface (aka "volume subdriver") should be available or not.
    
    This not only saves some memory, but also allows the thinkpad-acpi
    driver to be built-in even if ALSA is modular when the console audio
    control interface is not wanted.
    
    This change fixes a build problem that is causing some annoyances, in
    a way that doesn't disable the entire driver on kernels without ALSA
    support.

    thinkpad-acpi: don't fail to load the entire module due to ALSA problems
    
    If we cannot create the ALSA mixer, it is a good reason to fail to
    load the volume subdriver, and not to fail to load the entire module.
    
    While at it, add more debugging messages, as the error paths are being
    used a lot more than I'd expect, and it is failing to set up the ALSA
    mixer on a number of ThinkPads.

    Ask ALSA to (by default) load us in one of the last three slots.  This
    can be overriden at will using the "index" parameter.
