You said it could be done in a followup patch. Here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=141154536921643&w=4

And Mika said he would add that to his TODO list:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=141155173924101&w=4

I suppose that is still valid.

That looks like it could be done in a followup patch too.

Since the series is in my linux-next branch at this point, I really wouldn't
like to reshuffle commits in it if that can be avoided.

It was done like that in previous versions, but turned out to cause problems
to happen in testing. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to find a pointer
to the original report ATM, but perhaps Mika can. Mika?
