Hi Bjorn,
As I know, ACPI is the only specification defining interfaces
to support IOAPIC hotplug on x86 and IA64, and seems IOAPIC is only used
on x86 and IA64 too.
I suspect that there's a real product with IOAPIC on plug-in
card. Correct me if I'm wrong. If there are products with IOAPIC on
plug-in card, it could only be supported by ACPIPHP because SHPC and
PCIe native hotplug have no chance to update ACPI data structures.
Thanks!
