[PATCH v6 0/5] Xen/ACPI: support sleep state entering on hardware reduced systems
In version 3.4 acpi_os_prepare_sleep() got introduced in parallel with reduced hardware sleep support, and the two changes didn''t get synchronized: The new code doesn''t call the hook function (if so requested). Fix this, requiring a boolean parameter to be added to the hook function to distinguish "extended" from "legacy" sleep. This requires adjusting TXT, but the adjustments only go as far as failing the extended mode call (since, looking at the TXT interface, there doesn''t even appear to be precautions to deal with that alternative interface). The hypervisor change underlying this is commit 62d1a69 ("ACPI: support v5 (reduced HW) sleep interface") on the master branch of git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git.

I did not mean to seem impatient. With the volume of things on the mailing list, I merely wanted to try to avoid the series getting buried. If a week is too frequent to re-bump a series, do you have a set of recommendations of how to best interact with your workflow? I''m just trying to balance people''s time to review such things, with the volume of the list. Thanks for your time. Ben

I never heard back on this point of how you prefer your workflow to proceed - that is, if I haven''t heard anything in a couple weeks - should I try to re-bump the thread? Since this was sent around the time of the merge window, I realize there were other things to occupy people''s time. Now that rc2 is out - I''m hoping that the dust has settled a bit, such that there may be a cycle, or two to review this series.
