      VMware Balloon driver · 453dc659
      由 Dmitry Torokhov 提交于 
      This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver.  Ballooning is a
technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory
available to the guest (with guest cooperation).  In the overcommit
scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some
memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and
the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor.  Later hypervisor
may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and
instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon.

We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity)
expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into
virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with
virtio.

There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the
right thing.  If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are
prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like
to get this driver upstream.

We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not
have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have
"upstream first" requirement.

The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on
VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it
will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional
risk in pulling the driver into mainline.  The driver will only activate
if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

      ACPI: remove CONFIG_ACPI_EC · 8950d89a
      由 Bjorn Helgaas 提交于 
      Remove CONFIG_ACPI_EC.  It was always set the same as CONFIG_ACPI,
and it had no menu label, so there was no way to set it to anything
other than "y".

Per section 6.5.4 of the ACPI 3.0b specification,

    OSPM must make Embedded Controller operation regions, accessed
    via the Embedded Controllers described in ECDT, available before
    executing any control method.

The ECDT table is optional, but if it is present, the above text
means that the EC it describes is a required part of the ACPI
subsystem, so CONFIG_ACPI_EC=n wouldn't make sense.

      acer-wmi: Add rfkill support for wireless and bluetooth · 0606e1ab
      由 Carlos Corbacho 提交于 
      This patch implements rfkill support for the wireless and bluetooth devices
commonly found on Acer laptops.

For now, we will always poll these devices once a second to guarantee we
can catch state changes. On newer Acer laptops, it may be possible to rely
on WMI events to do this instead, and experimental support for this will be
added in a later patch.

3G has been deliberately left off for now, as we still have no way to
detect it, (nor, AFAIK, has any Linux user tried the code) and on laptops
that don't support 3G, trying to poll for the status will leave the logs
full of ACPI tracebacks.

The old sysfs interface for wireless and bluetooth will be removed in a
later patch.

(Thanks to Henrique de Moraes Holschuh and Dmitry Torokhov for reviewing
this patch).
