[LinuxBIOS] SLIT Support

[David Edrich]

I've seen SLIT support within Linux does anyone know anything about what platforms/systems have implemented SLIT Table support?  Is
this does by any standard BIOS vendor? In Linux BIOS?

Dunno, sorry. Someone else has to answer this question.

ACPI support in LinuxBIOS has to be implemented for each board extra.
Currently not all boards in LinuxBIOS support ACPI (most don't), but from
a quick look at the code it _seems_ that these two _do_ have SLIT support:

src/mainboard/iwill/dk8_htx/acpi_tables.c
src/mainboard/amd/serengeti_cheetah/acpi_tables.c

HTH, Uwe.

Thanks that helps a lot. 
Also though I would like to know if anyone knows if SLIT has been implemented by the major BIOS vendors?
I would think that maybe it hasn't since it would require customization probably every time.

Well, yes, but that's required anyway. Each board has to get a custom
ACPI implementation (in LinuxBIOS, but I'm pretty sure that's also the
case for the commercial BIOSes).
