This is similar to how the platform_notify callback code is handled. Making it per-arch isn't quite ideal, since x86 can be ACPI or APM and kernels need support for both. On the other hand, I can't think of any way that APM could do anything useful with the information, so per-arch may be reasonable. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@srcf.ucam.org
