Those checks are fine with me, I don't have a problem with them.

Either way, after I make the other fixes (and possibly this one), should I resubmit both patches together or just 1 of 2 alone?
Resend both of them, that way I'm reminded that they both need to be applied :)
Just for good measure, the description is included below again. :)
The two patches are to follow
--Vernon
After much discussion, dissection, rewriting and reading (documentation of course), I finally think this patch is ready to be included in the kernel. I have chosen to split it into 2 parts because really, that's what it is -- a patch to acpiphp that allows other modules to register attention LED callback functions and also a new module that does just that for the IBM ACPI systems. These patches were made against the 2.6.7 kernel tree.
01 - acpiphp-attention-v0.1d.patch
This patch adds the ability to register callback functions with the acpiphp core to set and get the current attention LED status. The reason this is needed is because there is not set ACPI standard for how this is done so each hardware platform may implement it differently. To keep hardware specific code out of acpiphp, we allow other modules to register their code with it.
02 - acpiphp_ibm-v1.0.1d.patch
This patch adds the first driver that actually uses the callback function for attention LEDs that the acpiphp-attention patch adds. It searches the ACPI namespace for IBM hardware, sets up the callbacks and sets up a handler to read ACPI events and forward them on to /proc/acpi/event. It also exports an ACPI table that shows current hotplug status to userland.
