Ok - built cleanly on ia64.  Boots too. Just one new console message:

ACPI: bus type platform registered

I don't.  I'm not sure about Mika.

There are two parts of the new code, one that's always executed, regardless of
whether or not there are devices using the support provided by this series, and
the other that's executed only for those devices.

All depends on what's there in acpi_platform_device_ids[] (added by patch 
[5/5]),
which is empty for now (Mika has a separate patch adding some IDs in there).
The second part of the new code will only be run and platform device objects
will only be created by it if there is at least one entry in
acpi_platform_device_ids[] matching a device ID of an ACPI node in the BIOS.

The BIOSes of currently available ia64 systems don't contain ACPI nodes whose
IDs will match the IDs of the new devices (ie. the ones that are going to be
added to acpi_platform_device_ids[]), so for ia64 it should be sufficient to
test that code as is (ie. without any new devices in the system).

There are two parts of the new code, one that's always executed, regardless of

The second part of the new code will only be run and platform device objects

The BIOSes of currently available ia64 systems don't contain ACPI nodes whose
IDs will match the IDs of the new devices (ie. the ones that are going to be
added to acpi_platform_device_ids[]), so for ia64 it should be sufficient to
test that code as is (ie. without any new devices in the system).

 The BIOSes of currently available ia64 systems don't contain ACPI nodes whose
 IDs will match the IDs of the new devices (ie. the ones that are going to be
 added to acpi_platform_device_ids[]), so for ia64 it should be sufficient to
 test that code as is (ie. without any new devices in the system).

Ok - built cleanly on ia64.  Boots too. Just one new console message:

ACPI: bus type platform registered

that seems pretty harmless.
