3This is the Intel ACPI Component Architecture, Intel's reference
4implementation of the core operating system ACPI support.  The
5portion in the acpica/ subdirectory is provided by the operating
6system as the glue between the OS and the ACPICA.
7
8Please, do not import an updated ACPICA snapshot from Intel unless
9you absolutely know what you're doing -- The Intel directory layout
10changes from release to release, and we must munge it (by hand) into
11something sane that we can use. The current version of munge is:
12
13	mv source/* .
14	rmdir source
15	mv components/* .
16	rmdir components
17
18Please also update ACPI_DATE in include/acapps.h.

20The routines that the operating system must provide are documented
21in the following document:
