/proc/acpi/event will not be created. But acpid and probably other
user-space
daemons depend on this file, so option ACPI_PROC_EVENT should be set to "y".
The kernel help reads:
A user-space daemon, acpi, typically read /proc/acpi/event
and handled all ACPI sub-system generated events.
These events are now delivered to user-space via
either the input layer, or as netlink events.
This build option enables the old code for legacy
user-space implementation. After some time, this will
be moved under CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS, and then deleted.
I think acpid will have to be ported to this new ABI.
(But I have no idea why we should disable it in current kernels.)
