Actually, as a non-native English speaker, the first time I saw "list", I had to do some research in order to understand what it means :-) That reminds me: what about "graylist"? For coherency, if "blacklist/whitelist" won't be used anymore, an alternative to graylist should also be provided. Right now, it seems that only ACPI uses it: $ git grep -i graylist drivers/clocksource/acpi_pm.c:static void acpi_pm_check_graylist(struct pci_dev *dev) drivers/clocksource/acpi_pm.c: acpi_pm_check_graylist); drivers/clocksource/acpi_pm.c: acpi_pm_check_graylist); Thanks, Mauro
