Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2010 16:46:44 -0500 From: Matthew Garrett <mjg@...hat.com> To: x86@...nel.org Cc: hpa@...or.com, linux-acpi@...r.kernel.org, lenb@...nel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Matthew Garrett <mjg@...hat.com> Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ACPI: Bug compatibility for Windows on the ACPI reboot vector Windows ignores the bit_offset and bit_width, despite the spec requiring that they be validated. Drop the checks so that we match this behaviour. Windows also goes straight for the keyboard controller if the ACPI reboot fails, so we shouldn't sleep if we're still alive.
