[coreboot] Intel GMA: Backlight brightness driver

[echelon at free.fr]

<OFF TOPIC>
(Sorry for hijacking the discussion..)
I just peeked inside the pdf and tumbled upon the following statement (page4):
"The latest reasoning for replacement of SMI is driven by a future OS requirement that 
restricts the use of SMI as a means to communicate with the system firmware."
Can someone enlighten me what this "future OS requirement" means?..
Thanks in advance,
  Florentin
