So named; called by such a name (but perhaps called thus with doubtful propriety). From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]: so-called adj : doubtful or suspect; "these so-called experts are no help" [syn: {alleged(a)}, {supposed}] My strong conviction is that widespread use of 'so gennant' or 'sogennant' in German has led to the creeping misuse of 'so-called' in English (especially through technical writings). In English, it would be better to use: what is called or a better translation of 'so gennant': so named Signed-off-by: Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com>

| * | | ACPI: Export FADT pm_profile integer value to userspaceThomas Renninger2011-11-061-0/+22

These approaches need constant maintaining and are ugly to implement (detect PCMCIA controller -> laptop, does not work on recent systems anymore, ...) On ACPI systems there is an easy and reliable way (if implemented in BIOS and most recent platforms have this value set). -> export it to userspace.
