ACPI: add "acpi_no_auto_ssdt" bootparam
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
"acpi_no_auto_ssdt" prevents Linux from automatically loading
all the SSDTs listed in the RSDT/XSDT.

This is needed for debugging.  In particular,
it allows a DSDT override to optionally be a DSDT+SSDT override.
