+/*
+ * Note: History of _PRW support in ACPICA
+ *
+ * Originally (2000 - 2010), the GPE initialization code performed a walk of
+ * the entire namespace to execute the _PRW methods and detect all GPEs
+ * capable of waking the system.
+ *
+ * As of 10/2010, the _PRW method execution has been removed since it is
+ * actually unnecessary. The host OS must in fact execute all _PRW methods
+ * in order to identify the device/power-resource dependencies. We now put
+ * the onus on the host OS to identify the wake GPEs as part of this process
+ * and to inform ACPICA of these GPEs via the acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake interface. This
+ * not only reduces the complexity of the ACPICA initialization code, but in
+ * some cases (on systems with very large namespaces) it should reduce the
+ * kernel boot time as well.
