Understood. The v2 version of this patchset was discussed with Jan
Beulich here:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/274507
In this thread, Rafael suggests that these changes be made, and
submitted through linux-acpi, with he, and you CC'ed.
This is more of a cleanup effort to existing functionality, that did not
get coordinated. That is, as the comment indicates, in linux 3.4,
reduced hardware sleep was introduced as part of ACPIv5. In parallel,
acpi_os_prepare_sleep() was also introduced, to allow for subsystems
such as Xen, and tboot to take advantage of the vast majority of ACPICA,
but hook some low level capabilities via function pointer, to do the
specific things for those subsystems.
Rafael rightly pointed out that inclusion of linux/acpi.h in ACPICA code
is wrong, and we should make efforts to avoid doing so. This patch is to
clean this up, and also to extend the functionality to also go down the
same path for the reduced hardware sleep path, passing that "extended"
flag down to that subsystem, so that it might make use of it at the very
low levels.
All efforts are being made to reduce the amount of churn in ACPICA,
since it is an upstream project to linux.

I am unaware of a way to take advantage of the infrastructure that
ACPICA provides, and also do that which is necessary to make it work in
Xen / tboot without these hooks.
It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider this new interface
for inclusion.
Thanks for your time.
