ACPI and 3.0 specification

[Mathieu Prevot]

On Sept. 2004 the 3.0 specification has been released. Change  
description is:

Major specification revision. General configuration enhancements.  
Inter-Processor power, performance, and throttling state dependency  
support added. Support for > 256 processors added. NUMA Distancing  
support added. PCI Express support added. SATA support added. Ambient  
Light Sensor and User Presence device support added. Thermal model  
extended beyond processor-centric support.

Does implementing these specifications (and maybe also 2.0) correctly  
would help making fbsd more fluid with talking to hardware including  
most recent MB ?
How often is motherboards' AML critic ?
How many of you are working on it (how long / month) and how  
(partly / exclusively) ?

I am thinking about working on it, depending on the time I can spend  
(still student in physics (graduate), preparing also PhD in  
nanomaterials and piano concert for 2006).
