The worst part of all this is that the ACPI specification is so ambiguous in this area, that we were forced to *guess* at certain elements of the implementation.

So, if anyone knows of any ASL/machines that use the serial bus stuff, please forward the code to me.

This includes:
GenericSerialBus
SMBus
IPMI

And maybe:
GeneralPurposeIo

For completeness.
