illumos gate

This commit should probably help here: https://github.com/joyent/illumos-joyent/commit/435bba8aa5d73ccd0b9ec7c79e28bec795904992

The tricky bit here is suspend/resume (with Joyent don't need to care about), getting that right last time took a number of people quite an amount of time and stress.

As far as I know, I didn't touch anything to do with suspend/resume. Any fixes in that area should still be there. My intent was to determine why acpica fails to detect COM3 on my Tyan motherboard. COM3 is present in the DSDT table. I hoped (in vain as it turned out) that an upgrade to acpica would solve the problem.

Should I proceed with this RFE or let somebody else do it?

The suspend resume code interacts with ACPI, seemingly regardless of you actually changing it (or appearing to need to).

Yuri, and Gordon put the most effort into keeping it working last time and would know more.

I don't see any reason you shouldn't continue, but finding people to test S/R for you could be a challenge (again, Gordon and Yuri were most useful last time).

Actually, I didn't help at all for the suspend/resume stuff, it didn't and it doesn't work on my laptop, just was helping to fix small annoyances with the EC driver attach.

Back to the topic.. Garry, if you don't want to handle this, I can try to do it.

I've already done all the work, except for fixing copyright notices and checking `cstyle'. I'm certainly willing to complete the project, as long as there's some chance it will be accepted.

I just wanted to add iasl as well as some other shipped utils to the list..

Gary, is there anything to try/test yet?
