major? the MMConfig support is minimal as I can see?

Is this code necessary for PCI-Express devices/busses to work properly?

I've humbly asked Len to stop doing big updates whenever possible on the v2.4 ACPI code, and do bugfixes only instead. Is that a pain in the ass for you, Len?
I asked that because it is common to see new bugs introduced by an ACPI update, and you know that more than I do.
Thanks!
PS: Greg, about the PCI-Express hotplug drivers, I assume they are independant on any of this? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
