Hi Alex,
I am working on to support ACPI based cpu hotplug where in I am
in the process of modifying ACPI processor driver. Since with the hotplug
support I see some of the entries for the processor under /sys/device/system/cpu
and some under /proc/acpi/processor. I felt it would be good if we have everything
under the /sys fs directory. I would be glad to contribute to your patch for the
processor driver changes. Can you please let me know where you are on this patch and
and what are the things you are considering to move and lastly what is the timeline
you are looking to push this patch.

thanks,
Anil
