Hi Bob,

I'm not familiar with your background here, so I apologize if I am stating obvious things below.

acpi_os_prepare_sleep() has been in the acpica code for some time now, allowing for OS specific hooks to account for differences between OS architectures.

Specifically, it has been in since:

commit 09f98a825a821f7a3f1b162f9ed023f37213a63b
Author: Tang Liang <liang.tang@...cle.com>
Date:   Fri Dec 9 10:05:54 2011 +0800

    x86, acpi, tboot: Have a ACPI os prepare sleep instead of calling tboot_sleep.
    
    The ACPI suspend path makes a call to tboot_sleep right before
    it writes the PM1A, PM1B values. We replace the direct call to
    tboot via an registration callback similar to __acpi_register_gsi.

    [v1: Added __attribute__ ((unused))]
    [v2: Introduced a wrapper instead of changing tboot_sleep return values]
    [v3: Added return value AE_CTRL_SKIP for acpi_os_sleep_prepare]
    Signed-off-by: Tang Liang <liang.tang@...cle.com>
    [v1: Fix compile issues on IA64 and PPC64]
    [v2: Fix where __acpi_os_prepare_sleep==NULL and did not go in sleep properly]
    Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@...cle.com>



In this case, the Xen hypervisor, and not linux needs to actually put the system into S3, so this hook gives the architecture to do so.

This change does not introduce this functionality, but simply moves the code around into the proper locations, such that the acpica code no longer need to include linux specific headers.

I hope this helps.
If you have specific questions, please let me know.

Regards,
Ben
