<title>ACPI: ibm-acpi: rename driver to thinkpad-acpi</title>

<content type='text'>
Rename the ibm-acpi driver to thinkpad-acpi.  ThinkPads are not even made
by IBM anymore, so it is high time to rename the driver...

The name thinkpad-acpi was used sometime ago by a thinkpad-specific hotkey
driver by Erik Rigtorp, around the 2.6.8-2.6.10 time frame.  The driver
apparently never got merged into mainline (it did make some trips through
-mm).  ibm-acpi was merged soon after, making its debut in 2.6.10.

The reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name shouldn't be a problem as far as user
confusion goes, as Erik's thinkpad-acpi apparently didn't get widespread
use in the Linux ThinkPad community and most hits for thinkpad-acpi in
google point to ibm-acpi anyway.

Erik, if you read this, please consider the reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name
as a compliment to your effort to make ThinkPads more useful to all of us.

Move drivers/acpi/sony_acpi.c to drivers/misc/sony-laptop.c with all the
necessary configuration.
The SONY_LAPTOP config option substitutes the old ACPI_SONY and is 'default n'
now.

Adds the new driver and make ASUS_LAPTOP and ACPI_ASUS
incompatible.  It may be strange to use ASUS_CREATE_DEVICE_ATTR
and ASUS_SET_DEVICE_ATTR now, but these macro will be very
usefull in next patchs.  ASUS_HANDLE and ASUS_HANDLE_INIT comes
from IBM_HANDLE and IBM_HANDLE_INIT, with some modification,
and will also be used in next patchs.

<title>[PATCH] ioc4: Enable build on non-SN2</title>

The SGI PCI-RT card, based on the SGI IOC4 chip, will be made available on
Altix XE (x86_64) platforms in the near future.  As such it is now a
misnomer for the IOC4 base device driver to live under drivers/sn, and
would complicate builds for non-SN2.

This patch moves the IOC4 base driver code from drivers/sn to drivers/misc,
and updates the associated Makefiles and Kconfig files to allow building on
non-SN2 configs.  Due to the resulting change in link order, it is now
necessary to use late_initcall() for IOC4 subdriver initialization.

Create a driver to support the platform-specific features
of MSI S270 laptops (and maybe other MSI laptops).
This driver implements a backlight device for controlling LCD brightness
(/sys/class/backlight/msi-laptop-bl/).
In addition it allows access to the WLAN and Bluetooth states
through a platform driver (/sys/devices/platform/msi-laptop-pf/).
