Subject: [Patch 2/8] ACPICA: Changes for Cygwin compatibility

Subject: [Patch 3/8] ACPICA: Support for external package objects as method arguments
applied after hand editing.
Unclear why hand-ending was necessary, as there were no Linux specific changes to this file beneath this delta.
Must be either Lindent weirdness or 0x20070320, mentioned below.

Subject: [Patch 5/8] ACPICA: Fix for update of the Global Lock Handle
did not apply, as it conflicts with the pre-existing Linux fix here, which I decided to keep for the time being.

Subject: [Patch 6/8] ACPICA: Change to make
Notify()operator completely synchronous
While the patch applied, it did not work, and is thus rejected. It caused "cat temperature" on my nx6325 to deadlock someplace in the region of a trip point.

Subject: [Patch 8/8] ACPICA: Update version to 20070508
did not apply, and didn't hand-apply it for two reasons:
1. we don't yet include all the changes from 20070508.
2. It expects ACPICA version 0x20070320 underneath, but Linux doesn't have that version, it is at 0x20070126.
Bob, Please send the patch series for 0x20070320.
thanks,

Len,
Do you still plan to do "git cvsimport" of ACPICA and put it somethere visible?
Regards,
Alex.

Len,
Do you still plan to do "git cvsimport" of ACPICA and put it somethere visible?
Yes, I'd like to get the backing repository for the ACPICA tree visible rather than just the tar file we distribute today. I'd also like to make it easier for people outside of Intel to contribute patches to it.
Bob is on sabatical right now, and I don't anticipate this happening before he returns.
