Hi, processor objects declared under _PR. scope and not declared with the traditional: Processor (XXXX, 0x0F, 0x00000410, 0x06) {} processor declaration, but with the new _HID("ACPI0007") declaration: Device (XXXX){ Name (_HID, "ACPI0007") Name (_UID, 0x00000028) } are also not recognized which leads to not functioning idle and cpufreq routines on cores. Bjorn's patch fixes these as well and is therefore a critical fix and justifies queueing for stable kernel. The patch needs slight adjusting for 2.6.32. I've backported it and will send (reply on this mail) a patch which should apply cleanly on 2.6.32 stable kernel. Please consider to add.
