TODO List: last update: 09/09/2004
Here are some ongoing features with a simple description and remaining tasks (TODO list).
ACPI Container Device Hotplug
-----------------------------
[Description]
This is a main feature in this project. ACPI container device hotplug has the following functionalities. This requires the following "ACPI based xxx hotplug" features.
- ACPI container device hot-add: This allows the container device to be added to the system running. When a container device is added, this is invoked by a hardware interrupt occurred, and initializes hardware resources (CPU, memory, and/or I/O devices) on the container device.

ACPI Based CPU Hotplug
----------------------
[Description]
This exists between ACPI container device hotplug and CPU hotplug (LHCS). This attachs a struct acpi_driver for processor object. The driver is called by ACPI container driver to hot-add/remove processor.
ACPI Based Memory Hotplug
-------------------------
[Description]
This exists between ACPI container device hotplug and memory hotplug (LHMS). This attachs a struct acpi_driver for processor object. The driver is called by ACPI container driver to hot-add/remove processor.
ACPI Based I/O Hotplug
----------------------
The following features are needed.
- P2P Bridge Hotplug
- H2P Bridge Hotplug
- IOSAPIC Hotplug
