[PATCH v4] hvmloader: indicate ACPI tables with "ACPI data" type in e820



Guest kernel does need to know in some cases where the tables are located
to treat these regions properly. One example is kexec process where
the first kernel needs to pass ACPI region locations to the second
kernel which is now a requirement in Linux after 02a3e3cdb7f12 ("x86/boot:
Parse SRAT table and count immovable memory regions") in order for kexec
transition to actually work.

That commit introduced accesses to XSDT and SRAT while the second kernel
is still using kexec transition tables. The transition tables do not have
e820 "reserved" regions mapped where those tables are located currently
in a Xen guest. Instead "ACPI data" regions are mapped with the transition
tables that was introduced by the following commit 6bbeb276b7 ("x86/kexec:
Add the EFI system tables and ACPI tables to the ident map").

Reserve 1MB (out of 16MB currently available) right after ACPI info page for
ACPI tables exclusively but populate this region on demand and only indicate
populated memory as "ACPI data" since according to ACPI spec that memory is
reclaimable by the guest if necessary. That is close to how we treat
the same ACPI data in PVH guests. 1MB should be enough for now but could be
later extended if required.

Changes in v4:
- gated new region creation on acpi_enabled
- added a comment to explain reserved region start point

Changes in v3:
- switched from NVS to regular "ACPI data" type by separating ACPI allocations
  into their own region
- gave more information on particular kexec usecase that requires this change

Changes in v2:
- gave more information on NVS type selection and potential alternatives
  in the description
- minor type fixes suggested
