Description
These are special op regions that actually point to an ACPI table in the RSDT/XSDT. I guess we'll need a method on the handler that asks the OS to retrieve a mapping to the ACPI table, and give us the address to construct a op region from.
- Parse opcode
- Create handler method to ask for ACPI table
- Construct and insert an op region from that info

Research direction
Start by locating the AML opcode parser and the handler code responsible for operation regions. Trace how ACPI tables are accessed, then determine how the handler can retrieve an RSDT/XSDT-referenced table and construct the operation region. Done means the opcode is parsed, the handler provides the table mapping, and the new operation region is inserted.
