- * DESCRIPTION: This function is called to get an ACPI table. The caller
- *              supplies an out_buffer large enough to contain the entire ACPI
- *              table. The caller should call the acpi_get_table_header function

- *              the out_buffer->Length field will indicate the number of bytes
- *              copied into the out_buffer->buf_ptr buffer. This table will be
- *              a complete table including the header.
+ * DESCRIPTION: Load the namespace from the DSDT and all SSDTs/PSDTs found in
+ *              the RSDT/XSDT.
