Bug Description

ARM will be deprecating the /dev/mem interface, which makes it impossible to read ACPI tables using this interface. We should read the tables from /sys/firmware/acpi/tables if possible.

For now, the best route is:
   if /dev/mem available: read tables using this interface
   else read via /sys/firmware/acpi/tables

/sys/firmware/acpitables does not provide all the tables so /dev/mem seems preferable for now.
