Are those files actually empty, or is it just that you're looking at the 
file size reported by "ls -l"? Because the zero size reported by ls is 
not true for many of the introspective files in /proc.

E.g.:

% ls -l /proc/acpi
total 0

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2006-12-23 07:48 alarm

% cat /proc/acpi/alarm

% cat /proc/acpi/dsdt |wc -c

Etc.


Hmmm... I wonder what that "MSFT" is about. It looks suspiciously like 
Microsoft's stock symbol.
