Hi Len, Arjan

acpi_processor_cst_has_changed is called on switch between AC
power and battery for each cpu. As a result each cpu disables
the cpuidle device, populates the idle state info again and
enables the device. This all works fine for per-cpu registration.

But if we do global registration of idle states then during
the first notification itself we need to disable all devices,
re-populate the states structure and enable all devices. But because
currently each cpu is notified in no particular order this is
not possible. Do you have any suggestions on how to design this?

Reading through the ACPI notification code it looks as if
drivers/acpi/acpica/evxface.c:acpi_install_notify_handler()
registers the device notification for root object i.e. basically
all objects of type CPU. With global registration only one
notification is required and sufficient. Maybe we need to
change the event type to system notification just like
for sleep button?

Thanks,
