+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
