Well, part of the bits that the kernel uses comes from the headers
in sys/contrib/dev/acpica, and AFAIK we don't install any of those
into /usr/include at the moment.  At some point we might consider
doing so and then it might make sense to provide the additional
structure definitions in our own header and use that in acpidump
instead of duplicating them.
