>Here's a suggested revert.

Please try this smaller revert to just osl.c.
(it builds and boots for me)

It reverts acpi_os_queue_for_execution() to exactly
as it was in 2.6.17, except it changes the name to
acpi_os_execute() to match ACPICA 20060512.

(yes, it is okay we ignore the 1st parameter,
 it wasn't used until the 5534 fix we are reverting)

thanks,
-Len
