[SeaBIOS] [PATCH v6 3/3] acpi: load and link tables through romfile loader

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

Load files through romfile loader and use for acpi tables.
We need the RSDP pointer to hang the rest of the tables off it,
to detect that we simply scan all memory in FSEG.

Add an option to disable this feature (useful for old QEMU versions).
This saves about 1Kbytes.

enabled:
Total size: 134932  Fixed: 61571  Free: 127212 (used 51.5% of 256KiB rom)

disabled:
Total size: 133836  Fixed: 61563  Free: 128308 (used 51.1% of 256KiB rom)
