IHMO, the cmdline is OS specific, therefore this solution wouldn't fit
to support ACPI on other OS (i.e *BSD) without requiring specific
implementation/parsing of the command line.
The DT solution would be cleaner and the bindings are already
standardize (and starting to be used on other OS such as FreeBSD).
