If you want copies of the DSDTs I mentioned below, let me know
and I can mail them to you individually.]

Here are a couple for your collection :-)  These are from HP Itanium
boxes.  (Is that collection publicly available, by the way?)

These both use IRQ and MEM descriptors.

But they don't have _IFT or _SRV objects.  They do have "TYPE"
and "SPEC" methods.  These are essentially the same, but they
came from an internal HP document that looks like it eventually
got incorporated into the IPMI spec (with the names being
changed along the way).
