I'm fine with ACPI tables if we can provide simple means for embedded users to load one via grub or just attach it to the kernel image. Sure, the user needs to know how to prepare one, but for similar platforms, e.g. e6xx based stuff the tables would look all the same. We probably could just recycle those from the BLDK.
