ACPI is a fully documented standard.  See www.teleport.com/~acpi

Here is a page of info for Linux:
     http://phobos.fs.tum.de/acpi/index.html.en

this is the start of a project.  Their current patches can recognize a
ACPI machine and turn it off.  :)

Disclamer: I have nothing to do with the ACPI or this Linux project.
