I agree - one list.  I think if separate the lists you'll just end up
with acpi-x86 getting 95% of the issues even if half of them are
problems in the core.  The vast majority of Linux ACPI implementations
will be x86 for a long time.  I think if it weren't for the laptop
users we probably wouldn't have ACPI for Linux, and it will be a long
time before you'll see a Itanium laptop.
