SDT tables is used by the SN kernel IO "fixup" code (which is
called at boot and hotplug time).

On hotplugs (i.e.  enable_slot()), if running with an ACPI capable prom,
attempt to obtain a new ACPI SSDT table for the slot being hotplugged.  If
successful, add the table to the ACPI namespace (acpi_load_table()) and then
walk the new devices and add them to the ACPI infrastructure (acpi_bus_add()).

On hot unplugs (i.e.  disable_slot()), if running with an ACPI capable prom,
attempt to remove the SSDT table associated with the slot from the ACPI
namespace (acpi_unload_table_id()) and infastructure (acpi_bus_trim()).

From: John Keller <jpk@sgi.com>

 A bug was fixed where the sgi hotplug driver was removing
 the slot's SSDT table from the ACPI namespace a bit too early in
 disable_slot(). Also, we now call acpi_bus_start() subsequent
 to acpi_bus_add().
