    [PATCH] ACPI based I/O APIC hot-plug: add interfaces · b1bb248a
    Kenji Kaneshige authored
    This patch adds the following new interfaces for I/O xAPIC
    hotplug. The implementation of these interfaces depends on each
    architecture.
    
        o int acpi_register_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u64 phys_addr,
    			       u32 gsi_base);
    
            This new interface is to add a new I/O xAPIC specified by
            phys_addr and gsi_base pair. phys_addr is the physical address
            to which the I/O xAPIC is mapped and gsi_base is global system
            interrupt base of the I/O xAPIC. acpi_register_ioapic returns
            0 on success, or negative value on error.
    
        o int acpi_unregister_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u32 gsi_base);
    
            This new interface is to remove a I/O xAPIC specified by
            gsi_base. acpi_unregister_ioapic returns 0 on success, or
            negative value on error.
