[Qemu-devel] [RFC 00/47] ACPI refactoring: replace template patching with C ASL API

[Igor Mammedov]

This series refactors SSDT runtime composing and gets rid of:
    * patching AML templates, with related pointer arithmetic magic
    * manual AML composition, i.e. creating AML terms practically
      byte by byte
    * using AML templates for SSDT creation, reducing dependency on IASL.
      as result of above, QEMU source tree doesn't have to carry
      'binary' template blobs that used to be part of SSDT.
    * hand-crafted PCI0._CRSes for pc/q35 machines in DSDT with
      manual hole punching of reserved resources
and adds following:
    * introduces ASL like API for creating AML objects using ASL
      like constructs/terms. API: 
          * provides a necessary minimum set of terms/helpers to
            replace currently used SSDT templates.
          * simplifies AML composition and keeps track of AML
            object contexts, transparently managing their 
            (de)allocation and merging into parent context,
            making composition of SSDT 'almost' like writing
            native ASL definition of the table.
          * hides pointer arithmetic from user when composing
            SSDT.
    * dynamically creates unified PCI0._CRS in SSDT for pc/q35
      machines allowing to reserve resources at runtime vs
      current compile time
    * while adding new API, make it target independed CONFIG_ACPI
      and also make some other utilities for composing ACPI tables
      target independed (i.e. utils on which API depends) so that
      they could be reused for ARM target later without moving
      stuff around uncessarily.

As result of replacing AML templates with ASL API, codebase
reduces on ~1800LOC even with net addition of API 1050LOC counted in.


Tested with XPsp3, WS2012R2, RHEL6/7 guests.
