Does it seem right that ACPI alone is almost 9% of the LOC in this code base? At over 165K lines?

Mind, I honestly don't know anything about the details of ACPI.

But, seems like a lot to me.

ACPI is a monster. 1,100 page spec: https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_Spec_6_5...

There’s a ton of different tables you have to parse and as I recall there’s a whole bytecode you need to be able to execute.
