Jordan,

I'm not sure why things like GENERIC_ADDRESS_STRUCTURE keep getting redefined 
even though the definition  EFI_ACPI_5_0_GENERIC_ADDRESS_STRUCTURE is the same 
as EFI_ACPI_5_0_GENERIC_ADDRESS_STRUCTURE. Some things are actually different, 
for example EFI_ACPI_5_0_FIXED_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_TABLE has more entries than 
EFI_ACPI_4_0_FIXED_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_TABLE.

Maybe Mike remembers the reason?

Seems like changing it now risks breaking existing code.

Thanks,

Andrew Fish
