Latest changes are compile tested only! If this gets serialized/merged and accepted in acpica in some form with whatever other stuff currently added, please drop me a mail. I can then submit the Linux parts again to the kernel people with the documentation adjusted as well:

ACPI: Also allow ACPI table adding via initrd not only overriding

2014-02-18 Thread Thomas Renninger
The ACPICA patches have to go into separate acpica repository first. It should also be checked in acpica whether the table signature the OS likes to add already exists (from BIOS). In this case the table must not be added. Worked here by trying to override a DSDT and addind a BGRT table.
