This is one of the goals that EFI_ACPI_SDT_PROTOCOL serves.

The protocol is specified in Volume 5 of the PI spec.

In edk2, the protocol is produced by

  MdeModulePkg/Universal/Acpi/AcpiTableDxe

when the

  gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdInstallAcpiSdtProtocol

Feature PCD is set to TRUE.

I think there are a handful (?) of protocol consumers in edk2 as well,
for example in

  QuarkPlatformPkg/Acpi/Dxe/AcpiPlatform/

Thanks,
Laszlo
