SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH] x86: create drivers/x86/ from drivers/misc/
From 9f57b53c82091c7af2f6082d83d6fc6542e36917 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] x86: create drivers/x86/ from drivers/misc/
Organization: Intel Open Source Technology Center

Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
to a new home under drivers/x86/.

The community has been maintaining x86 platform specific drivers
under /drivers/misc/ for a few years. The oldest ones started
life under drivers/acpi, but got booted out because they are
generally vendor-specific extensions to ACPI, or simply
users of ACPI, rather than implementers of the ACPI spec.

The thing that they have in common is that they are
x86 vendor specific platform drivers. So when asked,
Linus suggested we move them to drivers/x86.

just the interesting part of the patch is included below, due to size.

- This feature often won't work well, depending on ThinkPad model,
- display state, video output devices in use, whether there is a X

-
-config THINKPAD_ACPI_HOTKEY_POLL
- bool "Support NVRAM polling for hot keys"
- depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
- default y
- ---help---
- Some thinkpad models benefit from NVRAM polling to detect a few of
- the hot key press events. If you know your ThinkPad model does not
- need to do NVRAM polling to support any of the hot keys you use,
- unselecting this option will save about 1kB of memory.
-
- ThinkPads T40 and newer, R52 and newer, and X31 and newer are
- unlikely to need NVRAM polling in their latest BIOS versions.
-
- NVRAM polling can detect at most the following keys: ThinkPad/Access
- IBM, Zoom, Switch Display (fn+F7), ThinkLight, Volume up/down/mute,
- Brightness up/down, Display Expand (fn+F8), Hibernate (fn+F12).
-
- If you are not sure, say Y here. The driver enables polling only if
- it is strictly necessary to do so.
