A few questions are left: - Why did you call it QSAM? why not ACPI? - Did you hear from another developers about ACPI? I'm currently investigating to make the ACPI tables visible under /proc/acpi, and it seems your sysmemmap could nicely integrate in that. - Indeed the AML to <whatever> is a great ball, did those designers really think BIOSes have AML interpreters like that?? :) - That _initfunc is not really needed, isn't it? beter remove it than, since /proc/sysmemmap will be sufficient...
