can we compile ACPI without define CONFIG_PM ?

Hi Kernel mailing list!

IIRC: if I recall correctly
we couldn't compile ACPI without Power management option (CONFIG_PM), but now, this is possible.

If the answer to the subject is no, then consider apply this patch on kernel 2.4.26.

Accidentally, I compile ACPI without CONFIG_PM on one Dell something dual Pentium III and power off didn't work.

So I need some confirmation from acpi-devel, but this is one meter of xconfig of the kernel so ...

For APM Xconfiguration, it's better that, we can choose APM options only if we select APM ( because if we don't select CONFIG_PM, CONFIG_APM will be disable and the APM options don't!).
This patch correct also this situation.

Thanks,

Sérgio M. B.
