My fault. I was looking in the tree I run not the upstream tree. We've
had patches available for it since mid 2007. Looks like they got stuck
somewhere around Andi Kleen.
The original thread seems to be this one:

although it doesn't appear to check the fadt hdr rev is > 1 now I look
harder. Looks easy enough to try in Xen, and perhaps that would also meet
Huacai's needs ?
