[ltp] ACPI status on ali M7101/M1621 chipsets?

[Tod Harter]

You should also be pretty skeptical about Linux ACPI support in general. From 
my readings of various message lists relating to kernel and APM issues it 
would seem that Linux ACPI support is at best very primitive. Given the 
ugliness of issues relating to power management already, my advice would be 
to avoid ACPI like the plague until it is a LOT more mature. With the newer 
series of machines it doesn't seem that vital anyhow. The "A" series machines 
for instance work great and with few issues using APM. What more could you 
want?
