There are parts that could be, but the ISA enumerator and root PCI bus discovery code pose some awkward problems; if the ISA enumerator wasn't present at boot time, the PnP BIOS enumerator will have run instead, and you don't want to duplicate everything (which will happen when the nexus is reprobed after the module load). And you don't want to re-discover the root PCI bus(ses) after the ACPI module load either. 8) You also don't want to load ACPI if you have APM running, since they don't really coexist very nicely. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
