Hm no, I was not referring to the compilation warning. I've also made
a mistake on explaining the problem. :-)

So, the problem is that when CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR is set to 'm',
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR_XEN will be set (being bolean, to 'y'). This
will cause the final linking to fail because of undefined symbols
(those now in the module called in the xen acpi code).

Here's what happens in my .config:

CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=m
[...]
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR_XEN=y

And this is the result:

LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
drivers/built-in.o: In function `processor_cntl_xen_prepare':
(.text+0x543e8): undefined reference to `acpi_processor_get_performance_info'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `processor_cntl_xen_prepare':
(.text+0x5440c): undefined reference to `acpi_processor_get_psd'
make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2

As of your patch, yes that's useful to remove the warning.

Cheers,
Gianluca
