Thoughts?
I wish this effort could go into coreboot instead, so that it could benefit more than only one machine.
The long-term plan is to generate the acpi tables in qemu, where qemu can adjust them to actually match the virtual hardware emulated. Then qemu will make them available via fw_cfg interface, where any firmware can pick them up (seabios, coreboot, ovmf, whatever).
Step one in this path (where we are at the moment) is to reduce dependencies between acpi tables and seabios internals.
