------- Comment #44 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2008-04-29 18:02 -------
Linux doesn't use acpi_resources throughout, but instead stores the information
in generic resources (pnpacpi_parse_allocated_*), which are encoded to
acpi_resources (pnpacpi_encode_*) right before acpi_set_current_resources is
called in pnpacpi_set_resources.  Since we want to avoid keeping track of the
descriptor_length by adding a flag to the generic struct resource, Shaohua
suggested in comment #15 that the device's resource be bypassed by saving the
descriptor_length information directly to the resource template when it is
created.  This is what the patch in comment #42 does.

Unfortunately, I don't currently have working hardware to test this on.
