Missing hw.acpi.poll_timeout (and other tunable)

[David Naylor]

Hi,

While trying to debug my misbehaving ACPI I tried using hw.acpi.poll_timeout.  
When trying to find the default value I couldn't find any reference to it in 
the source codes:
# find /usr/src -type f | xargs -i poll_timeout | grep 
./share/man/man4/acpi.4:.It Va hw.acpi.ec.poll_timeout

This tunable is documented in acpi(4).  Is there a reason for this being 
removed.  

Also there are other tunables that may be useful for diagnostics (although 
they didn't work for me) that are not mentioned in the man pages.  These are 
debug.acpi.ec.burst, debug.acpi.ec.polled, debug.acpi.ec.timeout (may be the 
above tunable renamed?) [although I got the impression that these tunables 
where 'temporary', if so please ignore].  

My apologies if I've preempted pending commits for acpi.  

Regards,

David
