To be precise, Parth is working on ACPI enablement for the Xen
hypervisor at the moment (on the Xen tree), I don't think he has any
patches for Linux (Dom0 is the key use case). The two works could be
carried on in parallel, even though you would obviously need Parth's Xen
patches to test the Linux side.

That said, I am OK with disabling ACPI for Xen on ARM and ARM64 for now
-- I wouldn't want to cause any significant delays to your patch series.
