Mike has implemented ACPI 2 standard in IA-64 for Darwin,
By the way, IA-64 is the name Intel uses for Itanium, which Darwin
does not support. We've been using "Intel 64-bit" or "x86-64" for
our latest architecture.
Sun I think uses x64 which is kind of a nice shorthand for x86-64.
A lot of people like FreeBSD use amd64 since AMD fathered the
particular 64bit architecture which intel copied.
Would be nice if Darwin/Apple etc used a name that is already in use
by others so a to not offer more confusion.
But IA-64 is Itanium in most people's mind, that I agree with.
