Since I don’t currently have the necessary time, I wrote it off as just another one of my many dead-end interests, but I nevertheless remained subscribed to the linux-acpi mailing list and the curiosity was still there, so it was a nice surprise to read a couple of posts by Mathew Garret on the subject, elucidating some bits of technicality, and I just decided to show some appreciation by posting about it! (I figure there’s not enough appreciation out there, generally speaking…)

Who knows, maybe someday I’ll get my act together and be able to contribute some code?
