2.6.23-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Rafael J. Wysocki patch cb43c54ca05c01533c45e4d3abfe8f99b7acf624 in mainline. The APM emulation is currently broken as a result of commit 831441862956fffa17b9801db37e6ea1650b0f69 "Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default" that removed the PF_NOFREEZE annotations from apm_ioctl() without adding the appropriate freezer hooks. Fix it and remove the unnecessary variable flags from apm_ioctl(). Special thanks to Franck Bui-Huu for pointing out the problem. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
