From 065cb3dfe24978651caedfa54da585388ad15dde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:44:26 -0700 Subject: x86, suspend, acpi: correct and add comments about Big Real Mode Explain that we set up the descriptors for Big Real Mode, and why we do so. In particular, one system that is known to fail without it is the Lenovo X61. Signed-off-by: H.
