Out of curiosity, what is the motivation for running without acpi?
It costs a lot to diverge from the mainstream in areas like that,
so there must be a big payoff.  But maybe if OLPC depends on acpi
being smarter about power or code size or whatever, those improvements
could be made and everybody would benefit.
