Fwd: ACPI support in LinuxBIOS - moderator approval (fwd)

[jarcher at pobox.com]

I'll raise the question to the next level....

Has there been any discussion of putting any power management support into 
the LinuxBIOS.  I've got a possible need for some basics, like suspend to 
RAM.  Classic APM might be enough and simple to implement.  ACPI would be a 
good choice, but I'm not sure about how much ROM foot print would be needed.
