This should minimally be processor-$(CONFIG_XEN), with other things
adjusted as necessary.
I was under the impression that this was required to get the
processor_xen.ko
to be a module. Otherwise it would only compile as built-in.
processor_xen.ko? Why not have all the code go into processor.ko?
(And the original construct didn't aim in that direction either.)

Jan

the code about driver function which kernel require(drivers/acpi/processor_xen.c ) build into processor.ko.
the code which have more relation with xen (drivers/xen/acpi_processor.c) did not build into processor.ko.
