[ACPI] ACPI source release updated (20020207)

[Grover, A. <and...@in...>]

I've just posted our third release in 6 days on sourceforge. Of my 3
machines, it still doesn't work on one of them, which generally means some
not-insignificant issues remain. The developer.intel.com site will be
updated once we have a release we have a little more faith in. However, it
is an improvement over Monday's release, and we needed to do an update to
synch up improvements in the proc interface with the OTHER package released.

We are also releasing ospmd-0.1. This is code that will eventually be a PM
GUI and interface library, but it is still very new code. See the included
README for more information.

Here are the changes in the acpi source release:

--------------------
07 February 2002. Summary of changes for this release.

1) Linux

Better integration with 2.5 driver model.

Improved ACPI PCI Link driver.

Fixed a bug in the sleep code. (Pavel Machek)

Small /proc/acpi tweaks.

Blacklist re-added.

2) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:

Fixed a problem introduced in the previous release where the Global Lock
support would fault on a bad global lock pointer. The pointer was
inadvertently overwritten with an ACPI table signature.

Support for 64-bit "0.71" interim ACPI tables has been completely removed.
All 64-bit platforms should be migrated to ACPI 2.0 by now. 

Regards -- Andy
