Michael Brown 356f6c1b64 [acpi] Expose ACPI tables via settings mechanism
Allow values to be read from ACPI tables using the syntax

  ${acpi/<signature>.<index>.0.<offset>.<length>}

where <signature> is the ACPI table signature as a 32-bit hexadecimal
number (e.g. 0x41504093 for the 'APIC' signature on the MADT), <index>
is the index into the array of tables matching this signature,
<offset> is the byte offset within the table, and <length> is the
field length in bytes.

Numeric values are returned in reverse byte order, since ACPI numeric
values are usually little-endian.

For example:

  ${acpi/0x41504943.0.0.0.0}           - entire MADT table in raw hex
  ${acpi/0x41504943.0.0.0x0a.6:string} - MADT table OEM ID
  ${acpi/0x41504943.0.0.0x24.4:uint32} - local APIC address
