Can you go a bit into detail with this? In earlier discussions I understood your standpoint as clearly on the table based side. Whether such a table is called ACPI or LBTable is imho just a minor implementation detail with the one being supported by more OSes and companies while the other is definitely the one with the cleaner design.

Much of this can be described in ACPI tables, dropping the need for MPtables and PIRQ tables. I think the modular concept of LinuxBIOS really allows developers to address one issue without hurting another. The current way of irq routing is less than elegant, I agree, but it does it's job, taking the all-monthly fixing behind into regard.
