It is something I did when another linaro engineer was modifying acpica-tools to not require /dev/mem. It exports the 3 tables that are not currenly exported in sysfs. Currently I do not think there is any user of this because acpica-tools can can recover the information in the other tables without these three being exported, fwts also works fine without the patch so the only use case I have is the vague "might be useful for debug" So I ask the list for its opinions.
