Are we actually allowed to modify the real acpi table passed by the firmware?
Could it be read-only?

If we can change it,  do we need a dsb() before the acpi_tb_checksum?

IIRC, the ACPI memory region is mapped cached and preparing the ACPI blob is only done in one processor. So the dsb() is not necessary here.

But ... that made me think that we should clear the cache after changes in the table. We can't assume that the guest will map with cache attribute the ACPI tables.
