Subject: [PATCH 3/8] x86, acpi: Move table_sigs[] to stack.

On 64bit, we will do acpi_initrd_override() in x86_64_start_kernel(). This is
after CPU enables paging, but before direct mapping page tables are setup.
This is OK because we have an early page fault handler to help to access data
without direct mapping page tables.

But on 32bit, in order to keep the x86_32 and x86_64 unified code clean, we want
to do acpi_initrd_override() in head_32.S, before CPU enables paging. Without
direct mapping page tables, we need to access data with physical address.

For global variables, if we access them, we are using va. So on 32bit, we have
to convert them into pa. But for a global array, it could be too messy.

So this patch move table_sigs[] to stack. Define it in acpi_initrd_override().
It is no more than 36 pointers, so it is OK to put it on stack.
