I think the most valuable thing in ACPI is the static data tables. 
Things like BERT, EINJ, HEST, MPST and the various other bits of RAS 
functionality have value in the ARM world, and being able to share the 
implementation is a benefit. But that can be implemented without 
worrying about using ACPI for device discovery or interfacing.
