A number of systems are showing "hotplug capable" CPUs when they
are not really hotpluggable. This is because the MADT has extra
CPU entries to support different CPUs that may be inserted into
the socket with different numbers of cores.

Starting with ACPI 6.3 the spec has an Online Capable bit in the
MADT used to determine whether or not a CPU is hotplug capable
when the enabled bit is not set.

Ack, thanks.

The one below is an ACPICA change and I'd prefer it to be integrated
via the upstream ACPICA.

Could you prepare an ACPICA pull request for just the bit below and
send it via GitHub?

Sure thing.
http://github.com/acpica/acpica/pull/708/

They said they would take it later this month or next month.

Given that, how do you want to proceed with the first part of this?

Should I send a 2 patch series that will add the MADT bit to actbl2.h in advance of their next release, or should I wait to resubmit until after their next release and you've brought it into your tree?
