_PDC related stuff in processor_core.c is little bit X86/IA64 dependent,
rework the code to make it more arch-independent, no functional change
in this patch.

I've queued up patches [1,3-5/5] from this series for 3.15 (modulo changelog
modifications), but this one should be CCed to the x86 and ia64 maintainers.

Thanks for taking these patches. I would however hold onto patch 3/5 as
this is still under discussion. Basically for patches specific to ARM
ACPI I would really like to see more acks before being merged as that's
a new thing for us.

OK, I'll drop [3/5] for now, then.

Thanks (it?s only temporary ;)).

I'm wondering, though, whose ACKs I should be waiting for before applying those
patches?

Good question ;). In this particular case, there is an ongoing
discussion between Hanjun and Sudeep. While there isn?t anything
major, I would like to see some agreement and potentially an Ack from
the other party involved in the discussion (Sudeep).

There are other patches that are not specific to ARM, so it?s
really your decision. As for the general ARM(64) ACPI case, I don?t
think we have anyone in charge with deciding what?s correct or not
(BTW, who are the people active both in the _ARM_ Linux kernel community
and the ACPI standardisation forum?).

I'm in ASWG (ACPI spec working group) under UEFI, and Al Stone and Charles
(+cc Charles) are also in this forum.

Thanks
Hanjun
