Ultimately we want to put the disabled cpus in sleep mode, but that will require a suitable cache flush routine.I don't have any docs for the particular processors the G5s have, do they have a sleep mode?
They have, but the cache flush is not trivial to do (and might imply access to non documented bits). So let's put that on the to-do list and stick to NAP for now while I dig something. Ben.
