- Device PM QoS support for latency tolerance constraints on systems with
hardware interfaces allowing such constraints to be specified. That is
necessary to prevent hardware-driven power management from becoming
overly aggressive on some systems and to prevent power management
features leading to excessive latencies from being used in some cases.
- Consolidation of the handling of ACPI hotplug notifications for device
objects. This causes all device hotplug notifications to go through
the root notify handler (that was executed for all of them anyway
before) that propagates them to individual subsystems, if necessary,
by executing callbacks provided by those subsystems (those callbacks
are associated with struct acpi_device objects during device
enumeration). As a result, the code in question becomes both smaller
in size and more straightforward and all of those changes should not
affect users.
- ACPICA update, including fixes related to the handling of _PRT in cases
when it is broken and the addition of "Windows 2013" to the list of
supported "features" for _OSI (which is necessary to support systems
that work incorrectly or don't even boot without it). Changes from
Bob Moore and Lv Zheng.

be handled by that code from Alexander Mezin.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The majority of this material spent some time in linux-next, some of
it even several weeks. There are a few relatively fresh commits in
it, but they are mostly fixes and simple cleanups.
ACPI took the lead this time, both in terms of the number of commits
and the number of modified lines of code, cpufreq follows and there
are a few changes in the PM core and in cpuidle too.
A new feature that already got some LWN.net's attention is the device
PM QoS extension allowing latency tolerance requirements to be
propagated from leaf devices to their ancestors with hardware
interfaces for specifying latency tolerance. That should help systems
with hardware-driven power management to avoid going too far with it
in cases when there are latency tolerance constraints.
There also are some significant changes in the ACPI core related to
the way in which hotplug notifications are handled. They affect PCI
hotplug (ACPIPHP) and the ACPI dock station code too. The bottom line
is that all those notification now go through the root notify handler
and are propagated to the interested subsystems by means of callbacks
instead of having to install a notify handler for each device object
that we can potentially get hotplug notifications for.
In addition to that ACPICA will now advertise "Windows 2013"
compatibility for _OSI, because some systems out there don't work
correctly if that is not done (some of them don't even boot).
On the system suspend side of things, all of the device suspend and
resume callbacks, except for ->prepare() and ->complete(), are now
going to be executed asynchronously as that turns out to speed up
system suspend and resume on some platforms quite significantly and we
have a few more optimizations in that area.
Apart from that, there are some new device IDs and fixes and cleanups
all over. In particular, the system suspend and resume handling by
cpufreq should be improved and the cpuidle menu governor should be a
bit more robust now.
Specifics:
- Device PM QoS support for latency tolerance constraints on systems
with hardware interfaces allowing such constraints to be specified.
That is necessary to prevent hardware-driven power management from
becoming overly aggressive on some systems and to prevent power
management features leading to excessive latencies from being used

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=387
http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/
