First off, the last version I've seen is the v3. I must have overlooked the v4 then, but I don't think it was CCed to linux-acpi (which should have happened). Second, these patches require review from multiple maintainers and (or including) people who actually know how the GTDT is supposed to be used. I haven't seen any responses from any of them yet, so the answer to your question is "yes". I will have a couple of comments for patch [1/6] (in the v3), but it's not been a priority due to the apparent overall lack of interest in this series.
