.. so on which hardware is xen-acpi-processor driver required? 

Is the actual problem that I don't have _PCT because it's not 
required/supported on my hw,
and thus I don't need the whole xen-acpi-processor driver? 

I checked the Xeon 5600 CPU, and also Ivy Bridge i7, and there's no _PCT on 
either one..
