  Does acpidump work for you folks? I only get "Could not get ACPI tables, AE_NOT_FOUND". truss shows it tries to read /dev/xsvc which doesn't exist.

  cmd/acpi/acpidump/osillumostbl.c has a "fd = open("/dev/xsvc", O_RDONLY)". Am I supposed to have this device?

  I thought that was explicitly removed (or at least the ability to dump them) for reasons

  Yes, there's a commit from 2022 that says "OS-8396 Don't ship xsvc" (6ca05fd3f8404a7c4bbc4240c3a17686a6443aed). acpidump cannot work then?

  correct.. I'm not sure what the reasoning was (bug isn't public)

  just that we don't need it so reduce the attack surface

  could probably build the module and add_drv it -- wouldn't be persistent across boots, but would let you grab the data
