I'm not sure this is the right way to go about it, although I haven't
looked at your code yet. APCI is a big animal, and I think it's going
to take a proper design to get it right.
The key components would appear to be a full AML parser, an object
manager to manage the ACPI namespace, and an AML interpreter to run the
AML methods.

Both Doug Rabson and myself have been tinkering with this, and there's
someone that's been looking at an AML parser/interpreter in the last
couple of weeks. At this point in time, the parser and object manager
are the most vital components.
