ACPI / tables: table override from built-in initrd 



In some scenario, we need to build initrd with kernel in a single image.
This can simplify system deployment process by downloading the whole system
once, such as in IC verification.

This patch adds support to override ACPI tables from built-in initrd.

When building initrd with kernel in a single image, option

ACPI_TABLE_OVERRIDE_VIA_BUILTIN_INITRD should also be true for this

feature to work.



For a full list of ACPI tables that can be upgraded/installed, take a look

at the char *table_sigs[MAX_ACPI_SIGNATURE]; definition in

drivers/acpi/tables.c.
