[Fwd: ACPI State of art related question.]

Hi all,

I'm sorry to disturb you with this general question.
At the present time (considering Linux kernel 2.6.6 version), which ACPI features are supported by Linux kernel ?
More precisely, I'm interested in the "Module Device" feature (cf spec rev 2.0 chapter 10.11), is it taken into account actually ? Thank you for any help or information.

Best regards,

Francois WELLENREITER

We are working on supporting ACPI based hot-plug of CPU, memory and host/P2P bridges. These resources could be reported in an ACPI0004 or PNP0A05 container, so we are working on a driver for these objects. Some of this code is already available (see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lhns). I didn't see the original post, so I don't know what your interest in the ACPI0004 container object is.
