It would have been nice to summarize the problems in the concerned 
patches to avoid having looking through all the patches in the previous 
version understanding what are the disagreements. Note that as the 
contributor of this series, I would expect you to drive the discussion 
(e.g gentle ping...).
You also did not address my concern related to require iasl even on 
platform when ACPI will not be used (such as arm32).

It would have been nice to specify the dependencies and mention that
Boris's series has not yet been sent to the ML.
