But I wonder whether it's right to expose the distinction between PNP devices and ACPI devices to userspace. Assume you had a box where you can run either PNPBIOS firmware or ACPI firmware. Since the box has exactly the same hardware in either case, it would be nice if everything in /sys and udev stayed the same. Is it possible to extend the PNP model to include ACPI, rather than introducing a new ACPI model alongside the PNP model?
