ACPI 6.0 introduced an optional object _LPI that provides an alternate method to describe Low Power Idle states. It defines the local power states for each node in a hierarchical processor topology. The OSPM can use _LPI object to select a local power state for each level of processor hierarchy in the system. They used to produce a composite power state request that is presented to the platform by the OSPM. Since multiple processors affect the idle state for any non-leaf hierarchy node, coordination of idle state requests between the processors is required. ACPI supports two different coordination schemes: Platform coordinated and OS initiated. This patch adds initial support for Platform coordination scheme of LPI.
I seem to have sent a stale version of this patch, will send an updated version of this patch alone. Please ignore this one. -- Regards, Sudeep
