I had to use Xen quite heavily on a recent contract, but I never managed
to find time to install it on my laptop until now. First thing I tried
is the status of various power-management related tools and features:

- battery and AC adapter information are available
- the CPU seems to be throttled as asked to (Linux's ondemand governor),
  as shown by the temperature at the exit fan, but the cpufreq tool says
  it has no driver for this CPU
- putting the system to sleep or hibernation is impossible.

So basically, the Dom0 may have access to ACPI, but some related
features can't be used anyway.

Quickly,
Pierre
