This completes the import of all of the ACPICA code I have onto the 
FreeBSD mainline.  I'm *very* sorry that I'm over a week late with this, 
as my lack of action has slowed things down a lot.  Hopefully folks 
aren't too cross with me.

You'll all note that I haven't put MAINTAINER tags on any of this.  I ask 
you all to be a bit gentle with the code in sys/contrib because it's all 
on the vendor branch, so trampling all over it will make merging future 
updates from Intel a lot harder.  Apart from that, and the usual "please 
stick with style" requests, it's now open season.  There's a lot of stuff 
still to be done in the OSPM code especially, so have at it!

For those of you interested in ACPI but not sure where to start, I 
strongly recommend grabbing a copy of the ACPI 1.0b and 2.0 
specifications (most systems currently shipping are 1.0b compliant) from 
http://www.teleport.com/~acpi.  Discussions on the code have been taking 
place on the acpi-jp mailing list (copied in this announcement).

Please feel free to ask me, or any of the other acpi-jp subscribers if you
have any questions about ACPI or this code in particular.  Thanks go also
to Andy Grover and his group at Intel for their contiuing cooperation in
chasing bugs and answering our questions.  I look forward to where you 
all take this now!

Regards,
Mike
