+/*
+ * include/linux/platform.h - platform driver definitions
+ *
+ * Because of the prolific consumerism of the average American,
+ * and the dominant marketing budgets of PC OEMs, we have been
+ * blessed with frequent updates of the PC architecture. 
+ *
+ * While most of these calls are singular per architecture, they 
+ * require an extra layer of abstraction on the x86 so the right
+ * subsystem gets the right call. 
+ *
+ * Basically, this consolidates the power off and reboot callbacks 
+ * into one structure, as well as adding power management hooks.
+ *
+ * When adding a platform driver, please make sure all callbacks are 
+ * filled. There are defaults defined below that do nothing; use those
+ * if you do not support that callback.
