Title: Remove from ACPI and SMBIOS non mac tables
Post by: toitione on October 22, 2010, 12:44:27 PM

The idea is to remove all the unnecessary tables you can find in ACPI and SMBIOS that are unneeded for darwin.
We can use darwin dumper on real mac to make a white list of table and kick the others (SLIC, OEMB...) from RSDT.
The same idea can apply to SMBIOS I think.
For paranoiacs, we can also write zeros on the headers of unreferenced tables to foil a deep memory scan.

Why?

Just to be more "vanilla", it is not a functional need (for the moment...), just a cosmetic enhancement, and it is always useful to make the cleaning.

Don't worry, whatever you do, it's never going to be "vanilla".

And I don't see it ever going to be.

hmm.. I think it's just a manic.

Sorry :)

And it's easy to code when I saw this  ;D :

if (drop_ssdt && tableSign(table, "SSDT"))
{
    dropoffset++;
    continue;
}
