+What: /config/acpi
+Date: July 2016
+KernelVersion: 4.8
+Contact: linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+ This represents the ACPI subsystem entry point directory. It
+ contains sub-groups corresponding to ACPI configurable options.
+
+What: /config/acpi/table
+Date: July 2016
+KernelVersion: 4.8
+Description:
+
+ This group contains the configuration for user defined ACPI
+ tables. The attributes of a user define table are:
+
+ aml - a binary attribute that the user can use to
+ fill in the ACPI aml definitions. Once the aml
+ data is written to this file and the file is
+ closed the table will be loaded and ACPI devices
+ will be enumerated. To check if the operation is
+ successful the user must check the error code
+ for close(). If the operation is successful,
+ subsequent writes to this attribute will fail.
+
+ The rest of the attributes are read-only and are valid only
+ after the table has been loaded by filling the aml entry:
+
+ signature - ASCII table signature
+ length - length of table in bytes, including the header
+ revision - ACPI Specification minor version number
+ oem_id - ASCII OEM identification
+ oem_table_id - ASCII OEM table identification
+ oem_revision - OEM revision number
+ asl_compiler_id - ASCII ASL compiler vendor ID
+ asl_compiler_revision - ASL compiler version
