The PPTT generator uses the configuration manager protocol to
obtain information about platform's processor topology and caches.
This data is then used to generate the PPTT table.
The table generator supports ACPI 6.3, PPTT table revision 2.
The dynamic PPTT generator also carries out extensive input
validation which includes cycle detection and MADT-PPTT
cross-validation. A number of architectural compliance checks
are also performed.

A Table generator is a component that implements the logic
for building a firmware table. This is typically implemented
as a library and registers itself with a table factory.
Table generators are further classified based on type of table
it generates, a namespace that signifies if the implementation
is standard or an OEM specific implementation and a table Id.
This patch introduces the definitions used for describing a
table generator.
