This is x86 and gives some background on why the "firmware inits
hardware -> qemu adjusts addresses in acpi tables -> firmware loads acpi
tables via fw_cfg" init sequence is used there.
Figuring whenever you have similar problems / requirements on arm or if
you can simply go with static acpi tables is up to you ;)
