ACPI based cpu hotplug

Hi Len,
Couple of weeks back I had posted the ACPI based Physical CPU
hotplug patches onto the above mailing-list and I had resolved all the issues that people on the mailing list had brough out. I was hoping to see that patches on 2.6.10-rc1-mm1 and since I did not see them there, just checking to see whats your idea on this. I guess other companies are working on this acpi based hotplug technologies and are dependent on my patches which enhances core acpi and introduces the first version of the container driver.

I had tested those patches in an emulation environment by overiding DSDT. I am attaching the links of those patches again for your refernece.

Anil.

I applied all 6 patches to
http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/26-latest-mm
(even though one was technically IA64
rather than ACPI specific)

Please pull from this repo and test to verify that I did the merges properly and that bk did the subsequent merges properly too.
All I can do is read and build-test this patch series.

Also, when you have updates, please make
them relative to this baseline.

thanks,
-Len

Thanks Len, regarding IA64 specific patch, I had even once submitted onto ia64 mailing list separately and had resolved all the issues. I hope this should not cause any IA64 build/functionality breakage.

Sure, I will download this bits and will verify and will let you know if there is any problems.

Okay, I will follow your instructions for future updates.

thanks again,
Anil Keshavamurthy
