dce80a56268fffd6b5ea57b3f6ba3d027a68f05e 26-May-2010 Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com> SFI: add sysfs interface for SFI tables.

Analogous to ACPI's /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/...

create /sys/firmware/sfi/tables/

The tables are primariy for the kernel,
but sometimes it is useful for user-space to be
able to read them.

Extend SFI to access standard ACPI tables.
(eg. the PCI MCFG) using sfi_acpi_table_parse().

Note that this is _not_ a hybrid ACPI + SFI mode.
The platform boots in either ACPI mode or SFI mode.

SFI runs only with acpi_disabled=1, which can be set
at build-time via CONFIG_ACPI=n, or at boot time by
the failure to find ACPI platform support.

So this extension simply allows SFI-platforms to
re-use existing standard table formats that happen to
be defined to live in ACPI envelopes.
