   1 From: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de>
   2 Subject: Provide possibility for vendors to fix BIOS issues for SLE11 only
   3 References: none
   4 Patch-Mainline: never
   5
   6 These BIOS issues generally should be solved in the mainine kernel.
   7 But such ACPI interpreter fixes often are very intrusive and impossible to
   8 add as a maintenance update.
   9 This interface should only be used by vendors in emergency case, e.g.
  10 for important pre-loads. Use cases could be:
  11   - BIOS cannot generally be fixed because it's already validated against
  12     Windows OSes, with this patch a SLE11 specific BIOS fix can be added
  13   - Kernel cannot be fixed, because the fix would be too intrusive
  14 In most cases both above scenarios would be valid.
