Sounds good to me, but I have a question.

The acpi_evaluate_object_typed() function seems to be compiled
only when ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE is defined. And it seems that there
is no prototype declaration. I don't know about ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE
at all. Could you please tell me what I should do to use
acpi_evaluate_object_typed()?

Thanks,
