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
18			      - a binary attribute that the user can use to
19				fill in the ACPI aml definitions. Once the aml
20				data is written to this file and the file is
21				closed the table will be loaded and ACPI devices
22				will be enumerated. To check if the operation is
23				successful the user must check the error code
24				for close(). If the operation is successful,
25				subsequent writes to this attribute will fail.
26
27		The rest of the attributes are read-only and are valid only
28		after the table has been loaded by filling the aml entry:
29
30		signature
31				- ASCII table signature
32
33		length
34				- length of table in bytes, including the header
35
