OEM tables can be installed via RSDT/XSDT, in this case, they have already been created under /sys/firmware/acpi/tables. For this kind of tables, normally LoadTable opcode will be executed to load them. If LoadTable opcode is executed after acpi_sysfs_init(), acpi_sysfs_table_handler() will be invoked, thus a redundant table file will be created under /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic. Then running "acpidump" on such platform results in an error.
