Hi Len, As a follow up of this dicussion: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2007-March/019015.html
I'd like to know if it would be possible to have the acpi subsystem somehow declare or even request the I/O ports it will be accessing when running AML code? There is a need for this, otherwise other drivers might access the same resources as the AML code does, with possibly bad consequences. Another approach proposed by Pavel Machek would be a general mutex to protect the AML code from the rest of the kernel, this would probably work too but the granularity (and thus the latency) would be better with a per-I/O-region approach.
