Recent qemu versions compose all ACPI tables on the host side, according
to the target hardware configuration, and make the tables available to any
guest firmware over fw_cfg.
See version compatibility information below.
The feature moves the burden of keeping ACPI tables up-to-date from boot
firmware to qemu (which is the source of hardware configuration anyway).
This patch adds client code for this feature. Benefits of the
qemu-provided ACPI tables include PCI hotplug for example.
Qemu provides the following three fw_cfg files:
- etc/acpi/rsdp
- etc/acpi/tables
- etc/table-loader
"etc/acpi/rsdp" and "etc/acpi/tables" are similar, they are only kept
separate because they have different allocation requirements in SeaBIOS.
Both of these fw_cfg files contain preformatted ACPI payload.
"etc/acpi/rsdp" contains only the RSDP table, while "etc/acpi/tables"
contains all other tables, concatenated.
The tables in these two fw_cfg files are filled in by qemu, but two kinds
of fields are left incomplete in each table: pointers to other tables, and
checksums (which depend on the pointers).
Qemu initializes each pointer with a relative offset into the fw_cfg file
that contains the pointed-to ACPI table. The final pointer values depend
on where the fw_cfg files, holding the pointed-to ACPI tables, will be
placed in memory by the guest. That is, the pointer fields need to be
"relocated" (incremented) by the base addresses of where "/etc/acpi/rsdp"
and "/etc/acpi/tables" will be placed in guest memory.
This is where the third file, "/etc/table-loader" comes in the picture. It
is a linker/loader script that has several command types:
One command type instructs the guest to download the other two files.
Another command type instructs the guest to increment ("absolutize") a
pointer field (having a relative initial value) in the pointing ACPI
table, present in some fw_cfg file, with the dynamic base address of the
same (or another) fw_cfg file, holding the pointed-to ACPI table.
The third command type instructs the guest to compute checksums over
ranges and to store them.
In edk2, EFI_ACPI_TABLE_PROTOCOL knows about table relationships -- it
handles linkage automatically when a table is installed. The protocol
takes care of checksumming too. RSDP is installed automatically. Hence we
only need to care about the "etc/acpi/tables" fw_cfg file, determining the
boundaries of each ACPI table inside it, and installing those tables.

In a later patch we will want to mark the flash memory as a
runtime services data memory range. This will allow a new runtime
services firmware block driver to read & write flash memory when
the OS has set up virtual memory protection.
Since this memory range will appear as runtime services data, we
need to adjust the limit when scanning for PCI window 32 down to
just below the flash device. If we don't adjust the limit, then
the algorithm in PopulateFwData will fail because it will see a
EfiGcdMemoryTypeSystemMemory memory range just below 4GB.

This should be more compatible with AML parsers in practice
since older versions of ACPICA's OS support would not accept
the previous OVMF format (despite being spec compliant).
(For example, on OpenBSD 5.2 it caused a kernel crash)

Add PIIX4 properties to control PM system states.
This patch adds two things. First it allows QEMU to distinguish
between regular powerdown and S4 powerdown. Later separate QMP
notification will be added for S4 powerdown. Second it allows
S3/S4 states to be disabled from QEMU command line. Some guests
known to be broken with regards to power management, but allow to
use it anyway. Using new properties management will be able to
disable S3/S4 for such guests.
Supported system state are passed to a firmware using new fw_cfg
file. The file contains 6 byte array. Each byte represents one
system state. If byte at offset X has its MSB set it means that
system state X is supported and to enter it guest should use the
value from lowest 3 bits.

"FWDT" ("firmware data") is allocated as EfiReservedMemoryType, with
AllocateReservedPool(). <MdePkg/Include/Library/MemoryAllocationLib.h>
doesn't seem to provide direct access to EfiACPIReclaimMemory, but at this
point the former seems sufficient.
Based on SeaBIOS commit 2062f2ba by Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>.
v3:
- coding style fixes:
- BDAT -> FWDT
- __packed -> #pragma pack(1)
- BFLD -> FIRMWARE_DATA, PCI_WINDOW
- Bfld -> FwData
- Ssdt.asl: changed license to 2-clause BSDL, paraphrasing Dsdt.asl

Update MADT processing for QEMU to add additional Local APIC
entries to the MADT.
The MADT is still built with a single Local APIC entry.
If the AcpiPlatformDxe driver determines that more processors
are available, then additional Local APIC entries are added
to the MADT at runtime.
