12Description:
13
14		This group contains the configuration for user defined ACPI
15		tables. The attributes of a user define table are:
16
17		aml 		- a binary attribute that the user can use to
18				fill in the ACPI aml definitions. Once the aml
19				data is written to this file and the file is
20				closed the table will be loaded and ACPI devices
21				will be enumerated. To check if the operation is
22				successful the user must check the error code
23				for close(). If the operation is successful,
24				subsequent writes to this attribute will fail.
25
26		The rest of the attributes are read-only and are valid only
27		after the table has been loaded by filling the aml entry:
28
29		signature 	- ASCII table signature
30		length 		- length of table in bytes, including the header
31		revision 	- ACPI Specification minor version number
32		oem_id 		- ASCII OEM identification
33		oem_table_id 	- ASCII OEM table identification
34		oem_revision 	- OEM revision number
35		asl_compiler_id - ASCII ASL compiler vendor ID
36		asl_compiler_revision - ASL compiler version
