Subject: Provide possibility for vendors to fix BIOS issues for SLE11 only
|
||
|
|
References: none

Patch-Mainline: never

|
These BIOS issues generally should be solved in the mainine kernel.
|
||
|
|
But such ACPI interpreter fixes often are very intrusive and impossible to
|
||
|
|
add as a maintenance update.
|
||
|
|
This interface should only be used by vendors in emergency case, e.g.
|
||
|
|
for important pre-loads. Use cases could be:
|
||
|
|
- BIOS cannot generally be fixed because it's already validated against
|
||
|
|
Windows OSes, with this patch a SLE11 specific BIOS fix can be added
|
||
|
|
- Kernel cannot be fixed, because the fix would be too intrusive
|
||
|
|
In most cases both above scenarios would be valid.
