Lv, would > you be able to take care of that? I don't have any problem with that, but can we hold off on this patch for now? There's another approach to fixing the BGRT issue with kexec that's being discussed which would supersede this, https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160218141544.GH2651@codeblueprint.co.uk Assuming this patch does get picked up again, I'm happy to respin it against upstream ACPICA, but how do I go about getting dependent patches merged, PATCH 2/2 in this case?
