This is fine, thanks.

BTW. I check-in on top of Linus' tree, not on top of acpi-test.
Then i merge into acpi-test.  So in the future, you could just as well base
on Linus' tree and let me deal with the conflicts within acpi-test.
fine with me either way, just mention where the base is like you have.

>SONY_LAPTOP_OLD 

There is probably a better name for this -- like SONY_PI_COMPATIBILITY or 
something.

What about CONFIG_SONYPI? -- should it now depend on this driver not being 
included?

SONYPI depends on !64BIT -- is that invalid, or perhaps you only need the 
compatibility
stuff only in 32-bit mode?

applied to acpi-test.

It would be great if you can get some test feedback for the sonypi-era features
to make sure that the code moved into the new driver works as well as the old 
sonypi.

thanks,
