It needs ACPI work within NetBSD, oriented towards Xen. Most of the
machinery currently used for x86 can be reused I think, the missing part
being the code that will feed hypervisor with the information obtained
via ACPI.

Is there any plan to implement it: None explicitly
Will it be implemented: Yes, in the long term
What's the status: nobody is working on it (Christoph maybe?)
