From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@xxxxxxxxx> ACPICA commit 7af00219681ab35ebe57d64a9189fd04a5a026d8 Windows uses a value of 2, and has no plans to ever change this. So, _REV is essentially useless for its primary purpose. Worse, some BIOS vendors have used the difference in _REV values between Windows and ACPICA to indicate which one is running. It has been decided by the ACPI community to deprecate this method, and return 1 for ACPI 1.0 (32-bit integers) and 2 for ACPI 2.0 and greater (both 32-bit and 64-bit integers. ACPICA is changed to reflect this.
