• bert contains routines for creating a BERT table
• cedt contains routines for creating a CEDT table (see the CXL specification for more details)
• facs contains routines for creating a FACS table
• fadt contains routines for creating a FADT table (also known as FACP)
• hmat contains routines for creating a HMAT table
• hest contains routines for creating a HEST table, except for the parts that are specified by UEFI
• madt contains routines for creating an MADT table (also known as APIC)
• mcfg contains routines for creating an MCFG table
• pptt contains routines for creating a PPTT table
• rhct contains routines for creating a RHCT table
• rimt contains routines for creating a RIMT table
• rqsc contains routines for creating a RQSC table
• rsdp contains a helper for creating a RSDP table
• sdt provides the ability to build user defined tables including header and checksum validation
• slit contains routines for creating a SLIT table
• spcr contains routines for creating a SPCR table (not included in ACPI specification, see 0 for details)
• srat contains routines for creating a SRAT table
• tpm2 contains routines for creating both TCPA (TPM 1.2) and TPM2 tables
• viot contains routines for creating a VIOT table
• xsdt contains routines for creating an XSDT table
