I was thinking:
We can have module in ACPI DSDT, and every module is coresponding
to SystemModule.
so it will be
\_SB.NOD1
CPU0
CPU1
CPU2
CPU3
MEM0
MEM1
MEM2
MEM3
PCI0
PCI1
PCI2
PCI3
NTFY
STAT
STOP
NTFY will be something like:
Notify(\_SB.NOD1.CPU0,....)
Notify(\_SB.NOD1.CPU1,....)
Notify(\_SB.NOD1.CPU2,....)
Notify(\_SB.NOD1.CPU3,....)
Notify(\_SB.NOD1.MEM0,....)
Notify(\_SB.NOD1.MEM1,....)
Notify(\_SB.NOD1.MEM2,....)
Notify(\_SB.NOD1.MEM3,....)
Notify(\_SB.NOD1.PCI0,....)
Notify(\_SB.NOD1.PCI1,....)
Notify(\_SB.NOD1.PCI2,....)
Notify(\_SB.NOD1.PCI3,....)
and will link GPE button for SystemModule to call NTFY.
STAT could be 32bit integer for final turn off the power.
every CPU, MEM, PCI will own one bit, it will clear that bit in this own
_EJ0.
Every _EJ0 will double check if all are cleared, then it call extra STOP
to power off the whole SystemModule.
if OS already have seperated handler for those type objects (CPU, MEM,
PCI), we may not need to change to much to os.
Thanks
