RE: [acpi-jp 2421] acipca patches for Intel

Nate,

Please send a listing of the _BST errors that appear on the IBM machines
and the related DSDT.  This issue isn't really an ACPI 2.0 issue, it
extends back to ACPI 1.0.  I'd like to solve this once and for all if
possible.

Bob




This patch reverts part of 0619 to fix _BST errors on IBM thinkpads (and
others.  It appears many ASL versions do not implement the alluded to
2.0C copy semantics.
