Subject: [RFC PATCH] Exporting extra tables for machines without /dev/mem

Hi,

I thought I would send this patch as an RFC. It is something I did when
another linaro engineer was modifying acpica-tools to not require /dev/mem.

It exports the 3 tables that are not currenly exported in sysfs.

Currently I do not think there is any user of this because acpica-tools can
can recover the information in the other tables without these three being
exported, fwts also works fine without the patch so the only use case I have
is the vague "might be useful for debug"

So I ask the list for its opinions.

Graeme
