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 is an abstract container
used to represent CPU topology and should not be used to hotplug
purposes.

This patch enables the support for these ACPI processor containers and
ensures the generic container/module devices are not created for them.

I wouldn't say that it "enables the support".  What it actually does is
to prevent platform devices from being created for processor container
objects.

I can apply it right away with this changelog modification, though.


Ah my mistake, didn't change the log message from first version.
Will post the patch with update log, you can change it further if required.
