+ This ACPI processor uploads Power Management information to the Xen hypervisor.
+
+ To do that the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads said
+ information to the Xen hypervisor. Then the Xen hypervisor can select the
+ proper Cx and Pxx states. It also registers itslef as the SMM so that
+ other drivers (such as ACPI cpufreq scaling driver) will not load.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called xen_acpi_processor If you do not know what to choose,
+ select M here. If the CPUFREQ drivers are built in, select Y here.
