    Kernel-mode device drivers are able to evaluate ACPI control methods via I/O control codes (IOCTLs). Typically, a driver evaluates ACPI control methods to initiate or configure platform-specific functionality.

Control methods are written in the ACPI Machine Language (AML) and are interpreted by the ACPI driver in Microsoft® Windows®. These objects are loaded from the system definition in firmware into the ACPI namespace.

•        Only WDF or WDM drivers are supported.
•        Drivers may evaluate control methods only within the namespace of the device object on which they are loaded. This includes the namespace of child device objects.
