Subject: [GIT PATCH] ACPI patches for 2.6.26-rc8

Hi Linus,

please pull from: 

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

This will update the files shown below.

Note that I will be taking a sabbatical from Intel this summer.
Andi Kleen will maintain Linux/ACPI while I'm away.

thanks!

-Len

    This is apparently because some parts of ACPI, including mutexes, are not
    initialized when acpi=off is passed to the kernel.

commit 16d752397301b95abaa95cbaf9e785d221872311

    thermal: Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n
    
    A bug in libsensors <= 2.10.6 is exposed
    when this new hwmon I/F is enabled.
    Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n
    until some time after libsensors 2.10.7 ships
    so those users can run the latest kernel.
    
    libsensors 3.x is already fixed -- those users
    can use CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=y now.
