109 * 108 *
110 * Unfortunately, Linux-2.6.22 and earlier responded "yes" 109 * For example, OSI(Linux) was used on resume to re-POST a

114 * As it is not supportable, we need to halt that spread. 113 * Linux has no way to tell the BIOS to skip the time-consuming

124 * Finally, there is a short list of platforms
125 * where OSI(Linux) benefits Linux.
126 *
127 * In Linux-2.6.23, OSI(Linux) is first disabled by default.

132 * DMI is also used to enable OSI(Linux) for the machines
133 * that are known to need it.
