it is because
1. this didn't make it into 2.6.20 before -rc1, and Linus prohibits adding 
features thereafter
2. these patches simultaneously depend on ACPI, hotplug, and IA64 platform 
dependent code,
so it isn't always clear who owns them.  However, if Greg and Tony Ack them,
I'll be happy to carry them upstream with the ACPI tree.

I'll reply to this note with a shim patch to help these apply, and a  pair of 
refreshed SGI patches
that apply on top of the ACPI tree.  Build tested vs sn2_defconfig , but SGI 
will have to test it on hardware.

thanks,

An additional 600kb of diff has just popped up in the ACPI tree, so none of
this patch applies any more.  I'll need to drop it again, sorry.

It's been over two months - I'm not sure why things are so difficult for
this patchset.
