Hardware Discovery using
PnpBIOS
ISAPnP
MCA
PCI
ACPI
IRQ Routing using
PCI BIOS
$PIR
MP 1.x
ACPI
Power Management using
CPU idling instructions
APM
Direct power management
ACPI
There are all sorts of combinations that make sense, and trying to make
them all map around ACPI makes no sense, especially once you hit non x86
platforms where the mentality is quite different about what is
associated
