Is it fundamentally different _functionality_ to the stuff that is in "Plug
and Play configuration" (which makes devices automatically get the right
itnerrupts)? [ Ignore implementation for a second - we can always solve this
with another layer of abstraction. :-]

Of course, putting all this into the CPU menu (which is obviously a per-arch
config.in change) would make drivers/arch/acpi/Config.in look a lot cleaner.

I'll try to work with Andy Grover off-list with this, and come up with an
agreed position.

Rusty: This is starting to get a little non-trivial. Please drop the two
patches I've sent. I'll get back to you later.
