+Description:
+		The BGRT is an ACPI 5.0 feature that allows the OS
+		to obtain a copy of the firmware boot splash and
+		some associated metadata. This is intended to be used
+		by boot splash applications in order to interact with
+		the firmware boot splash in order to avoid jarring
+		transitions.
+
+		image: The image bitmap. Currently a 32-bit BMP.
+		status: 1 if the image is valid, 0 if firmware invalidated it.
+		type: 0 indicates image is in BMP format.
+
+		======== ===================================================
+		version: The version of the BGRT. Currently 1.
+		xoffset: The number of pixels between the left of the screen
+			 and the left edge of the image.
+		yoffset: The number of pixels between the top of the screen
+			 and the top edge of the image.

+What:		/sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/
+Date:		February 2013
+Contact:	Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
+Description:
+		There are separate hotplug profiles for different classes of
+		devices supported by ACPI, such as containers, memory modules,
+		processors, PCI root bridges etc.  A hotplug profile for a given
+		class of devices is a collection of settings defining the way
+		that class of devices will be handled by the ACPI core hotplug
+		code.  Those profiles are represented in sysfs as subdirectories
+		of /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/.
+
+		The following setting is available to user space for each
+		hotplug profile:
+
+		======== =======================================================
+		enabled: If set, the ACPI core will handle notifications of
+			 hotplug events associated with the given class of
+			 devices and will allow those devices to be ejected with
+			 the help of the _EJ0 control method.  Unsetting it
+			 effectively disables hotplug for the correspoinding
+			 class of devices.
+		======== =======================================================
+
+		The value of the above attribute is an integer number: 1 (set)
+		or 0 (unset).  Attempts to write any other values to it will
+		cause -EINVAL to be returned.

+What:		/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/
+Date:		February 2008

+Description:
+		All ACPI interrupts are handled via a single IRQ,
+		the System Control Interrupt (SCI), which appears
+		as "acpi" in /proc/interrupts.
+
+		However, one of the main functions of ACPI is to make
+		the platform understand random hardware without
+		special driver support.  So while the SCI handles a few
+		well known (fixed feature) interrupts sources, such
+		as the power button, it can also handle a variable
+		number of a "General Purpose Events" (GPE).
+
+		A GPE vectors to a specified handler in AML, which
+		can do a anything the BIOS writer wants from
+		OS context.  GPE 0x12, for example, would vector
+		to a level or edge handler called _L12 or _E12.
+		The handler may do its business and return.
+		Or the handler may send send a Notify event
+		to a Linux device driver registered on an ACPI device,
+		such as a battery, or a processor.
+
+		To figure out where all the SCI's are coming from,
+		/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts contains a file listing
+		every possible source, and the count of how many
+		times it has triggered::
+
+		  $ cd /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts
+		  $ grep . *

+		sci	     The number of times the ACPI SCI
+			     has been called and claimed an interrupt.
+
+		sci_not	     The number of times the ACPI SCI
+			     has been called and NOT claimed an interrupt.
+
+		gpe_all	     count of SCI caused by GPEs.
+
+		gpeXX	     count for individual GPE source

+
+		ff_pwr_btn   Power Button
+
+		ff_rt_clk    Real Time Clock
+
+		ff_slp_btn   Sleep Button
+
+		error	     an interrupt that can't be accounted for above.
+
+		invalid      it's either a GPE or a Fixed Event that
+			     doesn't have an event handler.
+
+		disable	     the GPE/Fixed Event is valid but disabled.
+
+		enable       the GPE/Fixed Event is valid and enabled.
+		===========  ==================================================
+
+		Root has permission to clear any of these counters.  Eg.::
+
+		  # echo 0 > gpe11
+
+		All counters can be cleared by clearing the total "sci"::
+
+		  # echo 0 > sci
+
+		None of these counters has an effect on the function
+		of the system, they are simply statistics.
+
+		Besides this, user can also write specific strings to these files
+		to enable/disable/clear ACPI interrupts in user space, which can be
+		used to debug some ACPI interrupt storm issues.
+
+		Note that only writing to VALID GPE/Fixed Event is allowed,
+		i.e. user can only change the status of runtime GPE and
+		Fixed Event with event handler installed.
+
+		Let's take power button fixed event for example, please kill acpid
+		and other user space applications so that the machine won't shutdown
+		when pressing the power button::
+
+		  # cat ff_pwr_btn
+		  0	enabled
+		  # press the power button for 3 times;
+		  # cat ff_pwr_btn
+		  3	enabled
+		  # echo disable > ff_pwr_btn
+		  # cat ff_pwr_btn
+		  3	disabled
+		  # press the power button for 3 times;
+		  # cat ff_pwr_btn
+		  3	disabled
+		  # echo enable > ff_pwr_btn
+		  # cat ff_pwr_btn
+		  4	enabled
+		  /*
+		   * this is because the status bit is set even if the enable
+		   * bit is cleared, and it triggers an ACPI fixed event when
+		   * the enable bit is set again
+		   */
+		  # press the power button for 3 times;
+		  # cat ff_pwr_btn
+		  7	enabled
+		  # echo disable > ff_pwr_btn
+		  # press the power button for 3 times;
+		  # echo clear > ff_pwr_btn	/* clear the status bit */
+		  # echo disable > ff_pwr_btn
+		  # cat ff_pwr_btn
+		  7	enabled
