Is the BIOS guaranteed readable in D3 if we call suspend ?

If it has a driver - ask the driver, if it doesn't then ask sysfs. - 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/
