It works for my case, that's tested, but ...

I tend to agree, I wasn't too keen on touching ACPI related stuff I
suppose it shouldn't be hard :-) Btw, what about the change:
- default ACPI
+ default y if ACPI
(To be honest I'm not sure what the first form does in details).
Oh, also, I just see that in drivers/acpi/Kconfig:
config ACPI_PROCESSOR
tristate "Processor"
select THERMAL
select CPU_IDLE
default y
Hrm... maybe I should just do the same in pseries and remove both the
"default" statements above, what do you think ?
On pSeries I'm keen to build that in rather than make it a module too
because you get no idle handling until it loads which can be
problematic. Built-in, it seems to be quite early in the link order (if
we can still trust that nowadays ...).
Cheers,
Ben.
