The TableHelperLib contains helper functions. Some rely on
DynamicTablesPkg definitions (they use Configuration Manager objects).
Some others are more generic.
To allow using these generic functions without including
DynamicTablesPkg definitions, move them to a new AcpiHelperLib
library.

The Generic ACPI for Arm Components 1.0 Platform Design
Document, s2.6.4 "ASL code examples" provides information
to describe an Arm CoreLink CMN-600 Coherent Mesh Network
using an ASL definition block table.
The SSDT CMN-600 Table Generator uses the Configuration
Manager protocol to obtain the following information about
the CMN-600 device on the platform:
- the PERIPHBASE address location and address range;
- the ROOTNODEBASE address location;
- the number of Debug and Trace Controller (DTC)
and their respective interrupt number;
The CMN-600 mesh is described using the CM_ARM_CMN_600_INFO
and CM_ARM_EXTENDED_INTERRUPT structures in the Configuration
Manager.
The SSDT CMN-600 Table generator:
- gets the CMN-600 hardware information
from the configuration manager.
- uses the AmlLib interfaces to parse the AML
template BLOB and construct an AML tree.
- uses the AmlLib to update:
- the "_UID" value;
- the address location and range of the PERIPHBASE;
- the address location of the ROOTNODEBASE;
- the number of Debug and Trace Controller (DTC)
and their respective interrupt number;
- serializes the AML tree to an output buffer.
This output buffer contains the fixed-up AML code,
which is then installed as an ACPI SSDT table.
