Is anyone working for ACPI support ?
as far as i've heard, nope.
Hpcmips needs power management mechanism. And I found
that ACPI is informative and interesting to me. Legacy APM spec
and NetBSD's APM driver depend on i386 CPU too much and,
therefore, other platforms including Hpcmips can't use them.
However, ACPI might work on Hpcmips as well as 386.
netbsd would greatly benefit from ACPI support. any work in this
direction is definately useful for the project.
