This sentence does not parse.

So this is a change that affects a lot of systems - what is the expected 
compatibility of this? Does Windows enable the 64-bit address? Which versions of 
Windows?

Btw., 'acpi_physical_address' is a mouthful, and despite being a data type, it 
looks like a variable name. Please rename it to something more sensible, matching 
existing physical address patterns, like 'acpi_phys_addr_t'.

Also, is there any reason why it's not simply phys_addr_t? It's not like ACPI has 
a different notion of physical addresses.

So in x86 speak, 'vectors' are the things that drive interrupts. They are not 
addresses. So calling it a 'vector' is a misnomer - it's a wakeup entry address 
point.

Secondly, when the 64-bit entry point is configured, in what mode does the 
firmware enter it - still real mode? Exactly what are the semantics when the 
64-bit entry point is set?

Thanks,
