Alternately, since Microsoft works just peachy with this thing, it's somewhat apparent that the Derefof() and Refof() can be implied by the types of the values being passed, and the ACPI table parsing code should be changed to work like Microsoft's does, at least until FreeBSD displaces the 70% marketshare and can dictate defacto implementation standards, where Intel can't. Yeah, I know that it's better to be correct than Microsoft compatible, but it's also better to work with hardware as shipped by vendors. Unless you think you can get Dell to rev their BIOS... -- TerryReceived on Tue Jun 10 2003 - 21:39:42 UTC
