    ACPI 6.0 adds support for optional processor container device which may
    contain child objects that are either processor devices or other processor
    containers. This allows representing hierarchical processor topologies.
    
    It is declared using the _HID of ACPI0010. It is an abstract container
    used to represent CPU topology and should not be used to hotplug
    purposes.
    
    If no matching handler is found for a device in acpi_scan_attach_handler,
    acpi_bus_attach does a default enumeration for those devices with valid
    HID in the acpi namespace. This patch adds a scan handler for these ACPI
    processor containers to avoid default that enumeration and ensures the
    platform devices are not created for them.
