Subject: [GIT PATCH] ACPI patches for 2.6.23-rc7

Hi Linus,

Before 2.6.23, please pull from: 

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

This restores some dmesg to what folks had in 2.6.22,
and prevents a possible system hang on video switching.

This will update the files shown below.

thanks!

-Len

    ACPI: suspend: consolidate handling of Sx states.
    
    Recent changes to sleep initialization in ACPI dropped reporting of supported Sx
    states above S3. Fix that and also move S5 init into same file as other Sx.
    The only functional change is adding printk() for S4 and S5 cases.

    ACPI: video: remove dmesg spam
    
    i am actually heavily using the ACPI video extension for my Thinkpad X61
    Tablet. I have bound the input events triggered by the brightness
    up/down keys to a simple
    
    echo <value> > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video1/brightness
    
    but everytime the event is triggered and acpi_video_device_lcd_set_level()
    is called i got a notificication in my kernel log like:
    
    set_level status: 0
    set_level status: 0
    set_level status: 0
    set_level status: 0
    ...

    ACPI: video: _DOS=0 by default to prevent hotkey hang
    
    In the past, the Linux/ACPI video driver invoked _DOS
    (Display Output Switch) with the parameter 1
    to tell the BIOS to switch the video output display for us.
    
    But this conflicts with Linux native graphics drivers,
    and can cause all sorts of issues, including hanging the system.
    
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6001
    
    Here we change the Linux default to evaluate _DOS=0,
    which tells the BIOS to simply send us a hotkey event
    and not touch the graphics hardware.
    
    The acpi video driver sends the display switch hotkey
    event up through the intput layer, and X can interpret
    that and use its native graphics driver to switch the display.
    
    For the case where Linux has no native graphics driver running,
    or the graphics driver doesn't know how to switch video and
    the BIOS (safely) does, the previous behaviour can be restored with:
    
    # echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/*/DOS
