I don't see much needs for a PlatformAcpiLib. Platform can call AcpiTable protocol to install ACPI table itself. The PlatformAcpiLib adds additional program interfaces but doesn't seem to be very helpful.
Any new program interfaces need to be carefully reviewed and only added when necessary. Otherwise, people new to this project would be lost in many interfaces.
