[PATCH] Repost: acpi_processor_exit_acpi_off.patch

[Thomas Renninger]

Exit ACPI processor module gracefully if acpi is disabled

Description: processor module might oops when machine is booted without
acpi support and the module gets rmmodded.
Module must still be loadable to provide cpufreq functionality even
without acpi.
