Hi to all my valiant testers

New APM patch is on my home page (see below). This one may
well work on 2.1.128!

This is the list of changes:

>From my previous announcement:

> Its does the following:
> - all configuration options (and then some) are now
> settable at boot time by passing "apm=..." to
> the kernel.
> - a long standing bug has been fixed so that suspend/standby
> initiated by "apm -S/s" doesn't do BUSY callbacks to the
> BIOS
> - the beginnings of the big patch from Craig Markwardt
> <craigm@pcasun3.gsfc.nasa.gov> are in there, but not
> the ioctl interface (yet)
> - sysctl support (notably the value passed when blanking
> the display can be set - /proc/sys/apm/blank-device.
> Some people need 0 some need 0xff). Check out the
> other things in /proc/sys/apm and make suggestions.
> - The astute will notice I am aiming for modularisation
> again - hopefully this time I can make it work!
- more sysctl's (including mask-interrupts and resume-time).
- removed some compile time options: CONFIG_APM_IDLE,
CONFIF_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK, and CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF. They
all now default to off and can be enabled on the kernel
command line or through /proc/sys/apm/...
- fixed (at least to some extent) the asm constraints so
that at least (mostly) correct code is no generated!

Let me know.

Cheers,
Stephen
