ACPI support #21

Open dennis95 opened 3 years ago

dennis95 commented 3 years ago

ACPI is needed for many things including shutdown and proper hardware detection. Also my new laptop is missing some legacy devices that Dennix is using and fixing that will require ACPI. Unfortunately fully implementing it (including AML) will be rather complicated.

I have implemented parsing of the RSDT, MADT and HPET tables. This allows us to detect the APIC, I/O APIC and HPET, which is enough to make Dennix work properly on my laptop.

Anything else related to ACPI can wait until later.
