ACPICA: Add option to favor 32-bit FADT addresses.
The platform reports 2 FACS tables (which is not allowed by ACPI
specification) and the new 32-bit address favor rule forces OSPMs to use
the FACS table reported via FADT's X_FIRMWARE_CTRL field.
The root cause of the reported bug might be one of the followings:
1. BIOS may favor the 64-bit firmware waking vector address when the
version of the FACS is greater than 0 and Linux currently only supports
resuming from the real mode, so the 64-bit firmware waking vector has
never been set and might be invalid to BIOS while the commit enables
higher version FACS.
2. BIOS may favor the FACS reported via the "FIRMWARE_CTRL" field in the
FADT while the commit doesn't set the firmware waking vector address of
the FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL", it only sets the firware waking
vector address of the FACS reported by "X_FIRMWARE_CTRL".
This patch excludes the cases that can trigger the bugs caused by the root
cause 2.
There is no handshaking mechanism can be used by OSPM to tell BIOS which
FACS is currently used. Thus the FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL" may still
be used by BIOS and the 0 value of the 32-bit firmware waking vector might
trigger such failure.
This patch tries to favor 32bit FACS address in another way where both the
FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL" and the FACS reported by "X_FIRMWARE_CTRL"
are loaded so that further commit can set firmware waking vector in the
both tables to ensure we can exclude the cases that trigger the bugs caused
by the root cause 2. The exclusion is split into 2 commits as this commit
is also useful for dumping more ACPI tables, it won't get reverted when
such exclusion is no longer necessary. Lv Zheng.
