Evidently, this is ACPICA material, so I'm expecting to receive this patch from Erik within the normal ACPICA development process, so I'm not sure what the purpose of this submission is.
Erik already sent a pull request to merge this patch to ACPICA repo. After he updated the ACPICA commit ID, he sent it to me for Linux submission. I am not sure whether there is a special process for ACPICA related submission to Linux kernel. But if I had to guess, since I have sent both SVKL and MADT patches at the same time, Erik might have assumed that it should be merged in the same patch set and hence sent to me for upstream submission.
Has this patch been posted here for reference only?
If this submission is incorrect, I can request Erik to submit it again for upstream merge. -- Sathyanarayanan Kuppuswamy Linux Kernel Developer
