Thanks for this, Paolo. Very interesting idea.
I couldn't get things working initially, but with a few fixups on the
SeaBIOS side I can boot both legacy and modern OSes. See comments
inline below for details on changes required.
Successfully booted (only a brief test):
- Windows 2000
- Windows XP (32 bit)
- Windows 7 (32 bit)
- Windows 10 (64 bit, SeaBIOS)
- Windows 10 (64 bit, OVMF)
- macOS 10.12 (patched OVMF)

Modifying the RSDP like this invalidates both its checksums, so they
need to be adjusted. Something like this:
RsdpAddr->checksum -= checksum(RsdpAddr, offsetof(struct
rsdp_descriptor, length));
RsdpAddr->extended_checksum -= checksum(RsdpAddr, sizeof(struct
rsdp_descriptor));

Comment should be "ACPI 2.0 Extended System Description Table (XSDT)"
> +#define XSDT_SIGNATURE 0x54445358 // RSDT
The signature is "XSDT", that works out to 0x58445358

We should mask out the flags bits that are reserved in ACPI 1.0 as
they refer to fields not present in this revision's FADT. e.g.
// upper 23 bits reserved in rev1 FADT
fadt_v1->flags &= 0x1ff;
