Thanks for the review.

Use his gmail or virtualoco one.

We have the next version which includes notification. The problem is
that right now QEMU doesn't include a mean to change the generation id
on-the-fly, so it was not published it.

I don't agree that this should be a requirement. According to the
specs, the value doesn't change frequently. A notification about a
change the re-reading the value should be enough for now.

This feature is supported by other hypervisors and this driver should
be able to support them in the next versions. I don't see a reason to
bound it to QEMU.

The names were chosen so they'll match Microsoft's specification and
code examples.

Why? The name says what the value is, not its type. This is not common
to see values' types in the sysfs directory.

You are probably right on this. However, we didn't see that Linux
supports loading ACPI modules other than using the _HID value.
