I've tried to abstract the user visible parts outside any particular firmware implementation, but HMAT parsing is an ACPI specific feature, so I thought ACPI was a good home for this part. I'm open to suggestions if there's a better place. Either under in another existing subsystem, or create a new one under drivers/hmat/?
