There is no guarantee that the autoconfiguration happens in
some particular order, and that the ACPI nodes are sorted
the same way as your config file entries.
(Also, there is no written statement that autoconf obeys the
order of entries in the config file or files.*. Didn't check,
but proplib and associative arrays could change that.)
