  • Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
    updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
    Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
    the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
    Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
    on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
    to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

  • Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop
    the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes
    to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related
    things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be
    incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we
    want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial
    console to be suspended.

    This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel
    boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will
    be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing
    'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain
    alive during suspend.

    For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be
    applied to make this work for things like netconsole.

  • Add a paragraph in Documentation/SubmittingDrivers requesting that the
    basic PM support be provided by new device drivers.

    Add two new documents in Documentation/power/ giving general instructions
    on debugging the suspend/resume functionality and testing the suspend and
    resume support in device drivers.
