Hence my comment about it being questionable; making it go as
hw.acpi_root or hw.acpi.root or whatever is not a hard task, and will
not really make anything else complicated.

Any suggestion about something everyone would agree on?  At least that
one has a precedent :)

One thing should be noted:  FreeBSD creates that node in MD code,
although in the end it is used by a MI userland program, and the data
type involved is 64-bit long whichever the arch is.
