Tejun Heo had a patch for sd that could (optionally) trigger a START

EVERYBODY will do on-die memory controllers. Yes, Intel doesn't do it

Hello, here my last patch for the PXA27x keyboard support updated to
linux-2.6.21-rc2.
I added power management support (suspend/resume code).
Machines should call the driver with the following code:

Yes, the intent is that running a CONFIG_PARAVIRT kernel on native
hardware will have negligible performance hit compared to running a
non-paravirt kernel.
