Peter Anvin Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:44:26 +0000 (-0700) Subject: x86, suspend, acpi: correct and add comments about Big Real Mode X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~1086^2~4 X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pandora-kernel.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=065cb3dfe24978651caedfa54da585388ad15dde;hp=3bf2e77453a87c22eb57ed4926760ac131c84459 x86, suspend, acpi: correct and add comments about Big Real Mode Explain that we set up the descriptors for Big Real Mode, and why we do so. In particular, one system that is known to fail without it is the Lenovo X61. Signed-off-by: H.
