but current linux kernel has to decompile ACPI tables too, right? and BSD
also?
sure it does. Now what happens if it decompiles tables and mails them to world, I just don't know.
I don't know where we should get the information. But we should generate all of our tables from our native LinuxBIOS device tree. The MP table is about half way there now.
That will both keep our information consistent. And placing the information in our own format means we are simply using the information and not copying something.
