Is this really general-purpose enough to be suitable for oe-core, or
would it be more suited to meta-oe or some other layer?

Remove this line, r0 is the default.

+LIC_FILES_CHKSUM =
"file://${S}/source/include/aclocal.h;endline=42;md5=07fbd4e514c75e140a19e3ab508f763d"

${S} is default, so in general people do file://sources/...

Fetching that here with wget produces:

ERROR: The certificate of ‘acpica.org’ is not trusted.

Someone should tell them...

The recipe doesn't use autotools, so you should drop this inherit.

That's just running 'make INSTALLFLAGS="-m 555"'.  You'll need to tell
it to run the right target for install, and to pass ${D} somehow so
the makefile doesn't try and write to /usr directly.
