I agree but I think we should distinguish between the table loading at ACPI
start, here the spec says for the loading from RSDP: 

... Notice that if OSPM finds a signature in a table that is not listed ...
OSPM ignores the table even though the values in the Length and Checksum fields
are correct ...

but for the loading with "Load"

...The Definition Block should contain an ACPI DESCRIPTION_HEADER of type
SSDT...

in the linux implementation both is handled by the acpi_tb_add_table function.
