From fe0cf03c730dbe6680704fbae63c661c9e0f7422 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2008 20:56:30 +0100 Subject: ACPI hibernate: Introduce new kernel parameter acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs On some machines it may be necessary to disable the saving/restoring of the ACPI NVS memory region during hibernation/resume. For this purpose, introduce new ACPI kernel command line option acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs. Based on a patch by Zhang Rui. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
