-\r
+ This protocol provides some basic services to support publishing ACPI system tables. The\r
+ services handle many of the more mundane tasks that are required to publish a set of tables. The\r
+ services will do the following:\r
+ - Generate common tables.\r
+ - Update the table links.\r
+ - Ensure that tables are properly aligned and use correct types of memory.\r
+ - Update checksum values and IDs.\r
+ - Complete the final installation of the tables.\r
