+				SOS
+
+SOS is a service oriented scheduler. SOS is a method of relating one or more
+distinct services to a processor.In other words, a core(s) is assigned to
+a chore, not a chore to a core.
+Technically speaking, by virtually removing a processor from the operating
+system, using Linux ACPI facility one can bind processors to services.
+SOS management and control is done by sosctl.
+To fully understand what is SOS, when should it be used it and for which
+puprose,please refer to http://sos-linux.cvs.sourceforge.net/sos-linux/sos/Documentation/.

I don't think this should be acpi specific... and you should provide real doc, not pointer to web page.

1. I posted to lkml as well as acpi. is this what you mean ?
2. At first, I posted a big text file , but I got zero replies so i thought that maybe people refrain from reading so much. But I will fix it (I read SubmittingPatches).

Patches should have reason why they are good idea, this one had none.
