True, but only for ARM64 where we haven't enabled ACPI_PROCESSOR yet in
mainline. So from that perspective, it should not cause any issue for
keeping changes bisectable on x86/ia64. You can keep these idle changes
locally for your testing. Trying to get everything at once will
definitely be problematic IMO.
