           Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers
           and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.

-          A user-space daemon, acpid, typically reads /proc/acpi/event
-          and handles all ACPI-generated events.
-
-          These events are now delivered to user-space either
-          via the input layer or as netlink events.
-
-          This build option enables the old code for legacy
-          user-space implementation.  After some time, this will
-          be moved under CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS, and then deleted.
-
-          Say Y here to retain the old behaviour.  Say N if your
-          user-space is newer than kernel 2.6.23 (September 2007).
