Ping!

Can anyone with a 900A please test this patch?  If I can't confirm
that this works, I'm not sure I can submit it for 2.6.32.  I apologise
if the other thread (patching out old workarounds in
eeepc-acpi-scripts) caused any confusion - this issue still needs
fixing on the 900A hardware.

I guess I am endorsing Andreas' solution for the time being.  The init
script should recognise the 900A as requiring pciehp_force=1, until
the kernel fix reaches Debian.  It will need another ugly kernel
version check to see whether pciehp_force=1 is necessary.

Thanks
Alan
