In the old setup, running the rebuild-expected-aml.sh
script is done in the build directory, and creates new
data files in ./tests/acpi-test-data/, which must then be
copied to the source directory.
In the new setup, the script is still run in the build
directory, but when new data files are created in
./tests/data/acpi/ they don't need to be copied anywhere,
because the directory symlink means they're already in
tests/data/acpi in the source directory structure.
