    Is it possible to add other EC related patches recently merged in the
    mainline tree. These are the following:
    ACPI: EC: revert msleep patch
    ACPI: EC: wait for last write gpe
    ACPI: EC: restart failed command
    ACPI: EC: lower interrupt storm treshold
    ACPI: EC: Don't do transaction from GPE handler in poll mode.

    All these patches apply without any problem on the 2.7.26 kernel. Theses
    patches solves bugs #12004, #11841 and #11994. In particular, the first
    one allows my computer to power down, which was not possible when the
    following commit was merged in the 2.6.27.5 kernel:

    ACPI: EC: do transaction from interrupt context

    commit 7c6db4e050601f359081fde418ca6dc4fc2d0011 upstream.

    It is easier and faster to do transaction directly from interrupt
    context rather than waking control thread.:


    Thanks.
