Subject: Introduce acpi_root_table=rsdt boot param and dmi list to force rsdt
Patch-mainline: not yet
References: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8246

This one is part of a patch series:
acpi_thinkpad_introduce_acpi_root_table_boot_param.patch
acpi_thinkpad_introduce_acpica_rsdt_global_variable.patch
acpi_thinkpad_remove_R40e_c-state_blacklist.patch

Blacklist R40e, R51e and T40, T40p, T41, T41p, T42, T42p, R50 and R50p
ThinkPads to use the RSDT instead of the XSDT.

Update: Jan 12 2009 jeffm
* 2.6.29-rc1 introduced acpi_rsdt_forced. I've updated the patch to issue
  a warning that acpi=rsdt is the prefered method of forcing.
* Moved the dmi table stuff to the main dmi table in x86/kernel/acpi/boot.

Update: Apr 10 2009 jeffm
* Removed documentation, since it's deprecated.
