2.6.0-test2-bk1 available, and ACPI config menu

  the first BK patch (bk1) is out for 2.6.0-test2 and seems
to work just fine.  i wouldn't have expected something like
the first patch to suddenly break things, but i've been
wrong before.

  also, in the long and hallowed tradition of brain-damaged,
ambiguous and just plain confusing menu configuration, anyone
who wants to play with ACPI should be aware that the Power
Management menu is, well, wrong.  or at least hideously 
misleading.

  despite what the help screen states (and what any normal
human being would assume), you don't need to select "Power
Management support" to configure ACPI, despite its aesthetic
appearance as a dependent sub-menu.  go figure.

  however, if you *do* select Power Management support,
and further select "Software Suspend", this does offer
an additional option under ACPI -- "Sleep States".

  again, go figure.
