    Hi Linus, please do a

            bk pull http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/linux-acpi-release-2.6.0

            The world will not stop revolving if these wait till 2.6.1,
            but it will make 2.6.0 easier to support if they're included.

            3 bug fixes -- all are in 2.4:

            1390: adds cmdline to allow manual over-ride if out policy
                    of forcing the ACPI SCI to level triggered is wrong.

                    If we don't apply, some folks with no ACPI events
                    will need to patch.

            1177: makes print_IO_APIC() output useful instead of garbage.

                    If we don't apply, then we need to send this patch
                    to anybody who has an IO-APIC mode interrupt issue
                    in ACPI mode.

            1434: 1-line panic fix
                    BIOS with correct ACPI table check-sums but garbled
                    data can cause panic immediately after loading with
                    no kernel output unless this is fixed.

    thanks,
    -Len

       [ACPI] "acpi_pic_sci=edge" in case platform requires Edge Triggered
    SCI
       http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1390

    <len.brown@intel.com> (03/11/18 1.1452)
       [ACPI] print_IO_APIC() only after it is programmed
       http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1177

    <len.brown@intel.com> (03/11/07 1.1414.1.7)
       [ACPI] In ACPI mode, delay print_IO_APIC() to make its output valid.
       http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1177

    <len.brown@intel.com> (03/11/07 1.1414.1.6)
       [ACPI] If ACPI is disabled by DMI BIOS date, then
       turn it off completely, including table parsing for HT.
       This avoids a crash due to ancient garbled tables.
       acpi=force is available to over-ride this default.
