We've had this discussion before. The right way even if you don't
want to do full ACPI is to do just the minimal static boot tables
and a SRAT. These are quite simple tables and should be easy to set up.
SRAT is essentially just a two dimensional table with node distances.
Indeed. Hacking everything into the kernel just because LinuxBIOS is
braindead is NOT a good idea.
