If both SeaBIOS and QEMU provide acpi tables, it can lead to
confusion. For example, if seabios adds tables, what acpi version
should go into the acpi table header, if Windows BSODs what project
should the bug report go to, how do we ensure no namespace collisions
between SSDTs, etc.
So, it's technically not difficult, but the support is painful.

I think this approach is simpler all around.
