efi: Add 'systab' information to Documentation/ABI
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history

in /sys/firmware/efi/systab actually forms an ABI that userspace tools
rely upon.

Document the ABI along with the userspace tool that cares.

Description: Displays the physical addresses of all EFI Configuration
Tables found via the EFI System Table. The order in
which the tables are printed forms an ABI and newer
versions are always printed first, i.e. ACPI20 comes
before ACPI.
