Hi!
I was asked to do SBST support for Linux. What is strange that all
info except "design capacity critical" can be read from _BIF, linux
does that and it seems to work.
Is SBST some kind of legacy table? Should it be supported? What if it
returns different value from _BIF?
Pavel

[...] OSPM uses these tables with the capabilities of the batteries to determine the different trip points." As far as i understand this, it is no legacy table, but one many tables inside the ACPI subsystem.
