release
Fixes regressions -- a build failure, an oops, some dmesg spam.
Also fixes some D-state issues and adds ACPI module auto-loading.
Yes, I'd hoped to get the last two in before rc1.
I'm hopeful that a couple-days into rc2 is sufficiently early for them.
I hate pulling this, but I did. However, what I hate even more after
having done so is that ACPI now seems to select CPU hotplug. Why?
That is just *broken*. Sure, if you select STR or hibernation, we need CPU
hotplug,
You are kidding, right? CPU hotplug is broken big time; it kills a machine
like virus-scanner. I always turn it of as a rule. And now you want
STR/STD to be dependent on it? Even on UP? Why?
CPU_HOTPLUG is needed to take the non-boot processors off-line before the suspend,
and to bring them on-line upon the resume. If you have specific problems
with bringing logical processors offline and online, then please speak up
because many are depending on this functionality working.
