								What:		/sys/firmware/sfi/tables/

								Description:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										SFI defines a number of small static memory tables
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										so the kernel can get platform information from firmware.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										The tables are defined in the latest SFI specification:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										http://simplefirmware.org/documentation
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										While the tables are used by the kernel, user-space
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										can observe them this way:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										# cd /sys/firmware/sfi/tables
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										# cat $TABLENAME > $TABLENAME.bin
