"ACPI-compliant systems interact with hardware through either a 
"Function Fixed Hardware (FFH) Interface", or a platform-independent 
hardware programming model which relies on platform-specific ACPI 
Machine Language (AML) provided by the original equipment manufacturer 
(OEM).

Function Fixed Hardware interfaces are platform-specific features, 
provided by platform manufacturers for the purposes of performance and 
failure recovery. Standard Intel-based PCs have a fixed function 
interface defined by Intel,[10] which provides a set of core 
functionality that reduces an ACPI-compliant system's need for full 
driver stacks for providing basic functionality during boot time or in 
the case of major system failure."
