From 96e89afe6da630dc54cfbca33c2c6a7ab9b6c11b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2007 16:15:06 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: ibm-acpi: allow module to load when acpi notifiers can't be set (v2) This patch allows for ibm-acpi to coexist (with diminished functionality) with other drivers like ACPI_BAY. ibm-acpi will simply disable the functions it is not able to register ACPI notifiers for.
