[ACPI] Re: [BK PATCH] ACPI update

[Linus T. <tor...@tr...>]

This does not boot on my dual P4 - it apparently gets the interrupt
routing completely wrong, and my SCSI controller ends up timing out and
giving up.

Andrew, I will have to revert the whole thing unless you have any good
suggestions. I don't even know where to begin trying to debug this thing,
and it doesn't help that the ACPI merges still happen way too seldom, and
thus end up always being broken.

In fact, I don't think I remember a _single_ ACPI merge that wasn't
horribly broken, they've all tended to revert important fixes that
happened in the base tree.

This ACPI development methodology really really doesn't work.

Suggestions welcome for debugging my immediate problem, but I really hope
that the ACPI people could try to merge more often, and in smaller pieces.
Because otherwise this will _never_ work.
