Hi guys, In order to reduce the platform's power consumption, the platform may direct OSPM to place a logical processor in the idle state where non-processor affinitized work is dispatched. ACPI4.0 introduces the optional Processor Aggregator device. The Processor Aggregator Device provides a control point that enables the platform to perform specific processor configuration and control that applies to all processors in the platform.
Here is a prototype to enable Solaris to handle the new ACPI object and event notification. This is also a new mechanism introduced in the coming NM2.0. http://cr.opensolaris.org/~aubrey/pad_v1/ Welcome your any inputs. Thanks, -Aubrey
