Confirm Sandy Bridge XCPM support #55

Closed al3xtjames closed 7 years ago

Using the same technique used to patch the XNU kernel for Ivy Bridge XCPM support, I added experimental Sandy Bridge XCPM patches in config_main_sandy.plist. I have not been able to test this, which is why this issue remains open.

If you are using a Sandy Bridge processor, please post a dump from IORegistryExplorer v2.1 and the output of AppleIntelInfo.kext.

According to @PMHeart, XCPM simply causes an instant reboot on Sandy Bridge, even with the proper patches. I'll work on readding traditional PM support (ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext + AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext) for Sandy Bridge processors.
