  • dce80a562   SFI: add sysfs interface for SFI tables. ... Browse Code »

    Analogous to ACPI's /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/...

    create /sys/firmware/sfi/tables/

    The tables are primariy for the kernel,
    but sometimes it is useful for user-space to be
    able to read them.

  • 13e82d023   SFI: add capability to parse ACPI tables ... Browse Code »

    Extend SFI to access standard ACPI tables.
    (eg. the PCI MCFG) using sfi_acpi_table_parse().

    Note that this is _not_ a hybrid ACPI + SFI mode.
    The platform boots in either ACPI mode or SFI mode.

    SFI runs only with acpi_disabled=1, which can be set
    at build-time via CONFIG_ACPI=n, or at boot time by
    the failure to find ACPI platform support.

    So this extension simply allows SFI-platforms to
    re-use existing standard table formats that happen to
    be defined to live in ACPI envelopes.
