Subject: What to use for OS-specific module namespaces?

Hi all,

I'm working on a Ruby module to parse/write to files in the Linux /proc
filesystem (ACPI interfaces), and I was wondering if there's a preferred
naming convention or namespace for things that are OS-specific. The base
module is going to be called ACPI, with objects like ACPI::Processor and
ACPI::Battery. Should I prepend something like System:: to ACPI? Or
should I use something like Linux:: to be more specific? Or am I way
off, and this stuff could go under the Kernel:: space (it seems to me
that it doesn't fit with the rest of the code there)?

TIA.
