Description
This project will scan the ACPI namespace and present an ACPI nexus driver on IA.
It will also create device nodes for cpu, memory and root ports(IO Hubs. An additional branch will be added to the device tree to populate devices not currently enumerated by standard methods.
The scope could be extended to enumerate other ACPI objects such as buttons and HPETs where today these drivers scan ACPI name space. This nexus driver approach provides for a natural fit into the solaris driver framework.
