Hi Alan,
I know that this is a large patch, but some of it has been
waiting around since last October and there is stuff in here
that people want (in particular there is a patch requested
by the XFree86 guys so that the X server can be made APM
aware).
Changes:
+ * 1.10: Fix for Thinkpad return code.
+ * Merge 2.2 and 2.3 drivers.
+ * Remove APM dependencies in arch/i386/kernel/process.c
+ * Remove APM dependencies in drivers/char/sysrq.c
+ * Reset time across standby.
+ * Allow more inititialisation on SMP.
+ * Remove CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF and make it boot time
+ * configurable (default on).
+ * Make debug only a boot time parameter (remove APM_DEBUG).
+ * Try to blank all devices on any error.
+ * 1.11: Remove APM dependencies in drivers/char/console.c
+ * Fix for bioses that don't zero the top part of the
+ * entrypoint offset (Mario Sitta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
+ * (reported by Panos Katsaloulis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).
+ * Real mode power off patch (Walter Hofmann
+ * <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).
+ * 1.12: Remove CONFIG_SMP as the compiler will optimize
+ * the code away anyway (smp_num_cpus == 1 in UP)
+ * noted by Artur Skawina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
+ * Make power off under SMP work again.
+ * Fix thinko with initial engaging of BIOS.
+ * Make sure power off only happens on CPU 0
+ * (Paul "Rusty" Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).
+ * Do error notification to user mode if BIOS calls fail.
+ * Move entrypoint offset fix to ...boot/setup.S
+ * where it belongs (Cosmos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).
+ * Remove smp-power-off. SMP users can disable power off
+ * by not doing "halt -p". Suggested by Jim Avera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
+ * Register the /proc/apm entry even on SMP so that
+ * scripts that check for it before doing power off
+ * work (Jim Avera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).
