just something i threw together, not in final form, but it
represents tossing the legacy PM stuff. at the moment, the
menuconfig entry for PM_LEGACY lists it as "DEPRECATED", while the
help screen calls it "obsolete." that's a good sign that it's
getting close to the time for it to go, and the removal is fairly
straightforward, but there's no mention of its removal in the
feature removal schedule file.

One thing that comes to mind is that you will need some way to make sure
that only one of ACPI and APM get initialized ...

i don't see how that has anything to do with removing legacy PM
support. you can select both ACPI and APM *now*. if that's a bad
thing, then fixing it is a completely independent issue.
