[PATCH v2 05/12] ACPI: processor: add internalprocessor_physically_present()

From: Alex Chiang
Date: Mon Feb 22 2010 - 14:12:06 EST


Detect if a processor is physically present before evaluating _PDC.

We want this because some BIOS will provide a _PDC even for processors
that are not present. These bogus _PDC methods then attempt to load
non-existent tables, which causes problems.

Avoid those bogus landmines.
