From f083a329e63d471a5e9238e837772b1b76c218db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 16:30:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Clean up and tweak ACPI blacklist year code - Move the core parser into dmi_scan.c. It can be useful for other subsystems too. - Differentiate between field doesn't exist and field is 0 or unparseable. The first case is likely an old BIOS with broken ACPI, the later is likely a slightly buggy BIOS where someone forget to edit the date. Don't blacklist in the later case.
