This is fantastic news. Thanks for your patch.
I have noticed two good things happening as we get more people involved in this project. First is just the increased level of ability of the people, as they learn the ins and outs of the CPUs we support and help each other out. The second is that new ports seem to come with ACPI support right away more often than before. This means I'd better learn ACPI better :-)
It just seems to me that people are getting better and better at this type of work, which is very nice to see happening.
Thanks, Rudolf, you might want to consider an official patch. I realize your port may not be perfect (to you :-), but I think it's worth getting it in to the tree if you have no objections.
Thanks again.
