I just found a story in the Slashdot queue about a new Intel project
called the "Simple Firmware Interface" (http://simplefirmware.org/).
According to the project website, SFI is "a method for platform
firmware to export static tables to the operating system (OS)" and
looks to be a lightweight replacement for ACPI.
I haven't found any mention of SFI on either Wikipedia or on the
coreboot wiki. Does anyone have further information on the project?
It's a subset of ACPI, looks quite Intel specific, and the FAQ (and the
draft standard, I think) state that if both, ACPI and SFI are available,
ACPI should be used.
So, nothing to worry about.
