Hi Sudeep,

ACPI 6.0 adds support for optional processor container device which may
contain child objects that are either processor devices or other processor
containers. This allows representing hierarchical processor topologies.
It is declared using the _HID of ACPI0010. It may also have _CID of
PNP0A05, which represents a generic container device.
Container device helps support hotplug of nodes, CPUs, and memory,
does this container device ACPI0010 used for the same purpose?
For my understanding, ACPI0010 is used to abstract CPU topology
like cluster, not for hotplug purpose, maybe I missed something,
or you just need this container driver for later use?
Thanks
Hanjun
This patch enables the support for these ACPI processor containers.
