ACPI and power management fixes for 3.11-rc5
- ACPI-based memory hotplug stopped working after a recent change, because it's not possible to associate sufficiently many "physical" devices with one ACPI device object due to an artificial limit. Fix from Rafael J Wysocki removes that limit and makes memory hotplug work again. - A change made in 3.9 uncovered a bug in the ACPI processor driver preventing NUMA nodes from being put offline due to an ordering issue. Fix from Yasuaki Ishimatsu changes the ordering to make things work again. - One of the recent ACPI video commits (that hasn't been reverted so far) uncovered a bug in the code handling quirky BIOSes that caused some Asus machines to boot with backlight completely off which made it quite difficult to use them afterward. Fix from Felipe Contreras improves the quirk to cover this particular case correctly. - A cpufreq user space interface change made in 3.10 inadvertently renamed the ignore_nice_load sysfs attribute to ignore_nice which resulted in some confusion. Fix from Viresh Kumar changes the name back to ignore_nice_load. - An initialization ordering change made in 3.9 broke cpufreq on loongson2 boards. Fix from Aaro Koskinen restores the correct initialization ordering there. - Fix breakage resulting from a mistake made in 3.9 and causing the detection of some graphics adapters (that were detected correctly before) to fail. There are two objects representing the same PCIe port in the affected systems' ACPI tables and both appear as "enabled" and we are expected to guess which one to use. We used to choose the right one before by pure luck, but when we tried to address another similar corner case, the luck went away. This time we try to make our guessing a bit more educated which is reported to work on those systems. - The /proc/acpi/wakeup interface code is missing some locking which may lead to breakage if that file is written or read during hotplug of wakeup devices. That should be rare but still possible, so it's better to start using the appropriate locking there. / -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJSBQJtAAoJEKhOf7ml8uNs9FQP/1dhuih2SxwGG07//58AdQg8 lIktdutgAxO8NvhYwP8SWH+SasBywkn2I6LSK2Ys8UMfUrfCMI/8jK1JMRmj+IfN tcd/13CdxV/sFDnnoQf1N/FCoskn8nNfbSw030lR3vHcBSc6CpqGHnQc8A78FNuC HohtV4xhHU3SCHOOiCP0HeVC3F3JMAlfRMbm/du1U9lrRpKXvU65J0JGvVG/9jn/ HNd3OVvvJ7l7kbNy7D99MO2QbX8O21qgKnd26Rk2gdERygSdrrBG4uCL1TMH1+Kn Q4tKvUR6Ja/b7f8lyWjPApjhCsGYmzeYfSJtEFZunZwcHShmgliiofD1E3lLhnY+ ZhUTgaalIETdcZy2GhzX42hi9YfqGUSeLccvqBEAC2eWCHhvKGw6A7kyBf6F9Sre eQpnnmOeKMNFwqEniYEcABWoG+XEtKWzxgIn9sX2aW/qkWLa/8i6PYOWe6Aze1Mr 8DduFy6HuU9LSALdlPKhl8zlD1y3vY5UDNFN3X2Vpzx33NYv5Ft2aykFSxWpzgb9 hVzWaYLS25SrxPncTgJZL8eR+/u7eY2B/OMczpfP+PmTztyCSTdPa0t6zn5xr5vq vLgfCh9lPXEaMz85Jlw5PZ+ZBAQ5PfjmIVB7ac0yM/G/J9N+h7q/J/BzbQEJDQI0 qovn9XAIW6wpG9MiMJs3 =0u8M -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
