ACPICA commit f0c4a06f1dfc4886d4e0c2aa30bc57b10c5a8c53 Like many tables, this is a header followed by multiple subtables of varying self-identifying types, and ACPICA does not normally add a field for the subtables, instead relying on pointer arithmetic past the end of the first header struct, since indexing a flexible array member is meaningless for variable-length entries. If we really wanted a field for this, we could use a u8 flexible array member, but it contradicts the current style. Using void *, however, is categorically wrong, as ACPI tables never contain native C-language pointers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
