 Royce and I are currently working on making this fully dynamic. We've 
got the plan set-up in our minds and it should be committed in less then 
a week, unless unexpected things happen. Speaking of which, is anyone 
against not making ACPI a compile-time instruction? It just makes 
debugging harder, one more thing to worry about, and I don't see the 
point either...I think it makes much more sense to have some kind of 
ACPISupported global variable that we either set at boot-up with proper 
table queries, and/or that the user can specify with an /ACPI 
command-line flag.

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
