I'm okay with the general idea.  However, I don't much like building
and copying the dsdt just to free it later.  It would be preferable if
the code would load in all the qemu provided tables, and then only
build the equivalent seabios table if it isn't already provided by
qemu.

This way, high memory isn't allocated and then later free'd - which
can cause unnecessary high memory reservations.
