Subject: Re: [PATCH] ACPI: processor: only call _PDC on physically present
 processors

A couple reasons to not get excited about this solution.

I don't like the processor enumeration code moving to a file called 
processor_pdc.c.

Too big for rc4 -- a logical revert to evaluate PDC when
we did in 2.6.32 would be more attractive at this point.


thanks,
