I agree that this is the right direction to go in. The number of acpipnp devices that are also pnpbios or (even worse) isapnp is (a) unlikely to increase, and (b) *very* small, and pretty much limited to superio and a small number of sound cards on old laptops. We may come up with a better solution for them later, but right now shifting away from requiring that every new ACPI device driver also bump a whitelist is an improvement. -- Matthew Garrett <[email protected]> N�����r��y����b�X��ǧv�^�){.n�+����{����zX����ܨ}���Ơz�&j:+v�������zZ+��+zf���h���~����i���z� �w���?�����&�)ߢf��^jǫy�m��@A�a��� 0��h���i
