The e820 memory map is only part of it. On x86 !UEFI you are supposed
to scan low memory for magic signatures that provides pointers to the
SMBIOS and ACPI tables.
As Christoffer said, "the good old PC". :)
SeaBIOS fishes out information from fw_cfg, and puts it in low memory.
On ARM you could use DT binary blobs instead of fw_cfg, as proposed
already (I don't remember if it was in this thread or IRC). Then if you
want to go !UEFI you can extract the tables from those binary blobs.
