     xen/acpi: add xen acpi processor driver

     Xen hypervisor need parsed acpi processor info for CPU Cx/Px power 
management,
     so this patch introduces xen acpi processor driver to parse the acpi info,
     and notify the hypervisor upon receiving the info.

     This patch has two components:
      - driver/acpi/processor_xen.c: implement the xen acpi processor driver
      - drivers/xen/acpi_processor.c: provide the interface to notify Xen 
hypervisor

adds it in the 2.6.32 tree?

Thanks, Konrad.

It looks like the commit in question is actually this one, from March 2010: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git;a=commit;h=7529008534a694c5784dfb11aa46184e33adc227. My search didn't find it because the files don't use the string "px_pminfo" anywhere.

The important thing that I missed on my end was not having the ACPI processor driver selected (for some reason). I had cpufreq and ACPI enabled, but I needed that, as well.

-John
