The "external logic" is the way we trying to make it a generic abstraction, but right now I cannot told who would be the external entity except xen. Maybe in the future if other software want to leverage linux acpica, they would also use it.

If people has other idea on the abstraction, I would be happy to hear that.

BTW, Len, do you think the hook this patch adds to the acpi subsystem is OK, regardless its name being "xen" or "extcntl"?
