That was my first thought :-)

But I got stuck on how to name things.  The BERT entry appears in
/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/ ... but the code doesn't know anything special
about "BERT", it just iterates over all the tables and makes them all
appear.

I thought about making it /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/BERT.data, but that
seemed very ugly (this file isn't a "table", so why does it appear in the
"tables" directory? So maybe /sys/firmware/acpi/table-data/BERT? Now
the driver has to make another directory.

Thoughts?
