Well, if some bus does handle the event, I guess it is a bug in the
subsystems that do not? Maybe Greg Kroah-Hartman can clarify the
expected behavior here? Maybe we are in transition phase here.
Also I guess, feel free to suggest anyone else I should add to this
discussion thread. I want everyone to come to an understanding regarding
the fundamental behavior. I have been getting mixed signals in the
various discussions I have had till now.
