      But each individual write to debugfs can implement a SINGLE

      method override. i.e. if we want to insert/override multiple

      ACPI methods, we need to redo step c) ~ g) for multiple times.



Note: Be aware that root can mis-use this driver to modify arbitrary

      memory and gain additional rights, if root's privileges got

      restricted (for example if root is not allowed to load additional
