Hm. Can we abuse ACPI to do that? Like accessing SystemCMOS from a _INI function?
Possibly. But ACPI is running very early in the game. Where would we hook it up?
This would also establish ACPI as a pretty hard requirement. There should be an alternative, too.
Using ACPI here would be nicely transparent though, hiding firmware specifics in the firmware code. I like that approach.
