I've just submitted this patch from Sami. It is a new version of his "AcpiView" updated in response to comments, and to match ACPI 6.2. It also now matches ECR 1784 (for command line options). The code can be seen at https://github.com/EvanLloyd/tianocore/tree/188_acpiview_v2 >From https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=805, it can be added to >edk2 (not staging).
