And ACPI. (I was conflating these two in my mind.)

Along with that, any other similar generally uniformly available power/hardware/system status type protocols.

I believe the best we can do at the moment is figure out which environment we're in and open a port or make a query (if available) via os:command/1. It might be possible to tail a log file in some environments. Anyway, this seems a lot trickier to work out than having runtime interfaces to AHCI, ACPI, etc.
