    to online nodes, where before it restricted to MAX_NUMNODES.

  • Make note of the legacy "probe-the-hardware" drivers, and some APIs that
    are mostly unused except by such drivers. We probably can't escape having
    legacy drivers for a while (e.g. old ISA drivers), but we can at least
    discourage this style code for new drivers, and unless it's unavoidable.

  • Make timer-stats have almost zero overhead when enabled in the config but
    not used. (this way distros can enable it more easily)

    Also update the documentation about overhead of timer_stats - it was
    written for the first version which had a global lock and a linear list
    walk based lookup ;-)

  • We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
    to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from
    the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.

    As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
    include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on
    submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

  • The initial version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface (not yet released
    in any stable mainline kernel) made liberal use of named sysfs groups, in
    order to get the attributes more organized.

    This proved to be a really bad design decision. Maybe if attribute groups
    were as flexible as a real directory, and if binary attributes were not
    second-class citizens, the idea of subdirs and named groups would not have
    been so bad.

    This patch makes all the thinkpad-acpi sysfs groups anonymous (thus
    removing the subdirs), adds the former group names as a prefix (so that
    hotkey/enable becomes hotkey_enable for example), and updates the
    documentation.

    These changes will make the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI a lot easier to
    maintain.

  • The boot option "acpi_osi=" has always disabled Linux _OSI support,
    thus disabling all OS Interface strings which are advertised
    by Linux to the BIOS.

    Now...
    acpi_osi="string" adds the interface string, and
    acpi_osi="!string" invalidates the pre-defined interface string

    eg. acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"
    would disable Linux's claim of Vista compatibility.
