Yes, I know. But, if I want to start the cpu explorating using ACPI translator, I think that the best way is to create other translator, instead call to this directly from gnumach.

Another problem can be share the reference to lapic with gnumach, once this have been found in ACPI tables, but this will be a next question.

You don't necessarily need to write a translator to "call" another
translator. You can make RPCs indeed, but quite often translators show
up as files which you can just read&write as usual. Concerning ACPI, see
/servers/acpi/tables, for instance

sudo hexdump -C /servers/acpi/tables/APIC
