First step, IMHO is to examining the kernel view of the ACPI namespace and compare that to what a decompiled DSDT provides. Do people prefer a /proc entry that provides the dump, or a userland tool that interacts with some data structures within the kernel. I would prefer to not decompile the DSDT to provide it, but rather deal with the data structures from there kernel.
