     1.4 +ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
     1.5 +
     1.6 +Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for Linux requires an
     1.7 +ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware), and assumes the presence of
     1.8 +OS-directed configuration and power management (OSPM) software.
     1.9 +
    1.10 +Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several legacy
    1.11 +configuration and power management interfaces, including the Plug-and-Play BIOS
    1.12 +specification (PnP BIOS), the MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the
    1.13 +Advanced Power Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support are
    1.14 +configured, ACPI is used.
    1.15 +
    1.16 +The project home page for the Linux ACPI subsystem is here:
    1.17 +<https://01.org/linux-acpi>
    1.18 +
    1.19 +Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI Component
    1.20 +Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information on the ACPI CA, see:
    1.21 +<http://acpica.org/>
    1.22 +
    1.23 +ACPI is an open industry specification originally co-developed by
    1.24 +Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba. Currently, it is
    1.25 +developed by the ACPI Specification Working Group (ASWG) under the UEFI Forum
    1.26 +and any UEFI member can join the ASWG and contribute to the ACPI specification.
    1.27 +The specification is available at: <http://www.acpi.info>
