Hi all,

BUT ... The APM code got "hacked" in 2.3.13 (not by me) and probably doesn't
work at all at the moment. I am trying to find time to send Linus
a patch that gets it back to where it was.

In particular, the check that protected SMP systems from running
APM (except for power off) was moved and I haven't had time to
figure out how it should be fixed.
