-How to add a new ACPI table to ACPICA and the iASL compiler.
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
-There are four main tasks that are needed to provide support for a
-new ACPI table:
-    1) Create a full definition of the table and any subtables
-       in the ACPICA headers.
-    2) Add disassembler support for the new table
-    3) Add iASL table compiler support for the new table
-    4) Create a default template for the new table for iASL -T
-       option.
-
-Notes for each of these tasks provided below.
-
-
-1) Header Support
------------------
-
-New tables should be added to the appropriate header:
-    actbl2.h: Used for new tables that are not defined in the ACPI spec.
-    actbl3.h: Used for new tables that are defined in the ACPI spec.
-
-Use ACPI_TABLE_HEADER for the common ACPI table header.
-Subtables should be defined separately from the main table.
-Don't add placeholder fields for subtables and other multiple data items.
-    (Don't use xxxxx[1] for a field that can have multiple items.)
-    The disassembler and data table compiler depends on this.
-For tables not defined in the ACPI spec, add a comment to indicate where
-    the table came from.
-Use other table definitions for additional guidance.
-
-
-2) iASL Disassembler Support
-----------------------------
-
-Add definition of the table (and subtables) in common/dmtbinfo.c
-Add table access macro(s) of the form ACPI_xxxx_OFFSET
-Add ACPI_DMT_TERMINATOR at the end of every table/subtable definition
-
-Add externals for the table/subtable definitions in acdisasm.h
-Add an entry for the new table in the AcpiDmTableData in common/dmtable.c
-
-If there are no subtables, add the AcpiDmTableInfoXXXX name to the
-    AcpiDmTableData and it will automatically be disassembled.
-
-If there are subtables, a dump routine must be written:
-Add an AcpiDmDumpXXXX function to dmtbdump.c -- note, code for another
-    similar table can often be ported for the new table.
-Add an external for this function to acdisasm.h
-Add this function to the AcpiDmTableData entry for the new ACPI table
-
-Debug/Test: Either find an existing example of the new ACPI table, or
-    create one using the "generic ACPI table support" included in the
-    iASL data table compiler. Use the -G option to force a
-    generic compile. It is often best to create the table from scratch,
-    since this clearly exposes the dependencies (lengths, offsets, etc.)
-    that the Table Compiler support will need to generate.
-
-
-3) iASL Table Compiler Support
-------------------------------
-
-Simple tables do not require a compile routine. The definition of the
-    table in common/dmtbinfo.c (created in step 2 above) will suffice.
-
-Complex tables with subtables will require a compile routine with a name
-    of the form DtCompileXXXX.
-Add a DtCompileXXXX function to the dttable.c module.
-Add an external for this function in dtcompiler.h
-Add this function to the AcpiDmTableData entry for the new ACPI table
-    in common/dmtable.c
-
-
-4) Template Support (-T iASL option)
-------------------------------------
-
-Create an example of the new ACPI table. This example should create
-    multiple subtables (if supported), and multiple instances of any
-    variable length data.
-
-Compile the example file with the -sc option. This will create a C
-    array that contains the table contents.
-
-Add this array to the dttemplate.h file. Name the array TemplateXXXX.
-Add this array name to the AcpiDmTableData entry for the new ACPI table
-
-Debug/Test: Create the template file. Compile the file. Disassemble the file.
-    Compile the disassembly file.
