[Bug 557736] Re: Lenovo X100e: thinkpad_acpi: Not yet supported ThinkPad detected!

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

Backports for several *upstream* kernels are available at:
http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git

(the git:// url is somewhere on that web page).

It is easier to work based on those than what is in -next or mainline.

The only active release/* branches are:

1. The one for whatever kernel I am using on my T43 (usually the latest or
second-to-latest stable upstream kernel).

2. The one for the latest upstream stable kernel, and after -rc5 or
thereabouts, the branch for the next upcoming kernel (if there is a reason
to create one, i.e., it would not be an empty branch).

3. release/2.6.32 (until it becomes too hard due to code divergence,
probably in an year or so).

Sometimes I keep a release/ branch alive for a bit, but there are no
promises.

If anyone is going to start providing Ubuntu kernel module packages based on
the above development tree backports, that someone is *urged* to subscribe
to the ibm-acpi-devel ML and the x86 platform drivers ML to get in the loop.

Those patches are development patches, so they should go through the
distro's QA and testing before they're shipped by any distro.  If you want
stable, you have to get it from the upstream stable kernel.
