You could reuse some of the code I wrote in acpi.{c,h} and modify it as
you need to only get the required table(s), my function gets all the
tables, but you can restrict it to ones that match the four byte
"signature" that you need and clean it up so it only supports the
minimum required.  Also, considering you are in kernel land, it would be
probably easier to read physical pointers you don't need mmap or /dev/mem.
