I was under the impression that the Intel ACPI folks had things in
mind for acpitable.c along the lines of 'rm', in favour of having
their new interpretor do a "Load, setup, get the hell out" approach
for those that didn't want it staying around.
Either way, I agree improving our ACPI support is a better solution
in the long run.
