This patch series modifies existing ACPI table parsers. Now, structure type values are used as indexes to access a centralized database containing information on how to parse each structure in the table.
Replacing a 'switch' statements with arrays indexed by the Type value allows consolidation of metadata about buiding blocks of an ACPI table. The additional data stored about each structure includes: - ACPI-defined name - instance count - compatible architectures (x86, AArch64, etc...) - information on how to parse the structure The new metadata allows more extensive ACPI table contents validation in acpiview, which is implemented in this patch series.
