<h2>Description</h2>
<p>The acpi driver provides support for the Intel/Microsoft/Compaq/Toshiba
ACPI standard. This support includes platform hardware discovery (super-
seding the PnP and PCI BIOS), as well as power management (superseding
APM) and other features. ACPI core support is provided by the ACPI CA
reference implementation from Intel.</p>
