Actually, as a non-native English speaker, the first time I saw
"<color>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
