Abstract
An ACPI-compatible system is provided that comprises a database for storing a device-specific descriptor for a hardware device. The system further comprises an ACPI agent operable to autonomously construct an ACPI table entry for the hardware device using the device-specific descriptor. Also, a method for an ACPI-compatible system autonomously constructing an ACPI table entry for a hardware device is provided. The method comprises receiving from firmware associated with the hardware device, a device-specific descriptor for such hardware device, and an ACPI agent executing on the ACPI-compatible system using the device-specific descriptor to autonomously construct an ACPI table entry for the hardware device.
