RE: [Linux-ia64] ACPI updates for 2.5

Maybe it is too later, but I still need to say that I want to be a volunteer, and be able to spend time on this task by early next week.

Thanks,
Luming

Great!

That sounds encouraging.

Yes.  Note that the PCI segment-related changes in ACPI broke x86.  My
bk tree updates the x86 tree so it compiles again, but this probably
needs to be done in a better way.  I think most other changes are
within CONFIG_IA64 already, so those should be easy.
