Hello,
Thanks for the refresh! Do you have this series in some git tree I can pull
from?

Hm, I still think HW_REDUCED_ACPI should be set for the time being,
considering that we don't provide PM timer or RTC for example. Not setting
this would be a violation of the ACPI specification, and would mean
introducing Xen specific hacks yet again to guest OSes, in order to disable
those devices.
Is the fact that HW_REDUCED_ACPI was introduced in ACPI v5 a problem?
Roger.
