CustomTable not present in EFI mode

Description (last modified by frank) (diff)
VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/acpi/0/Config/CustomTable" "/path/to/table.bin"
(see UserManual: 9.13 Configuring the custom ACPI table) doesn't work properly for VMs in EFI mode (but in BIOS mode).
It seems the implementation under AcpiPlatform.c Revision 58975 line 220 isn't present. There is no entry in "TableInfo[]"
* To reproduce *
- Create a VM with EFI mode
- Set extra data using VBoxManage
- Configure custom ACPI table
- boot linux (like CloneZilla) in shell mode
- ls -l /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/
The expected table isn't present. Switch to BIOS mode works correct.
