1. Q: Why are there so many little include files?
|
|
|
|
A: Because they are defining various private entities
|
|
that we don't want to redefine (build conflicts, etc),
|
|
or because they are a copy of a symbol that really
|
|
lives somewhere else but we cannot include due to some
|
|
header ordering problem.
|
|
(e.g. we can't have both ntddk.h and ntos.h, so ZwInitiatePowerAction
|
|
has to be copied into a another header file...)
|
|
|
|
2. Q: Why doesn't the driver remote, unload, stop, or even fail init?
|
|
|
|
A: We call the hal with direct call vectors for use in response
|
|
to the OS calling it (the hal) to go to S3 or S4. Once we've
|
|
set those vectors, we can't pull the code out from under the Hal.
|
|
|
|
AND
|
|
|
|
Without the PNP stuff batteries don't work, but other APM features do.
|
|
|
|
Without the SuspendPoll thread machine initiated APM ops don't work,
|
|
but UI initiated ops (the user did C-A-D, shutdown, Standby) WILL
|
|
still work.
|
|
|
|
So, we take what we can get.
