Subject: [PATCH v4 12/14] x86, ACPI: parse ACPI_FADT_LEGACY_DEVICES

ACPI 5.2.9.3 IA-PC Boot Architecture flag ACPI_FADT_LEGACY_DEVICES
can be used to determine if a system has legacy devices LPC or
ISA devices. The x86 platform already has a struct which lists
known associated legacy devices, we start off careful only
by disabling root devices we should not regress with. The struct
and device list can be expanded with time to cover more root
legacy components.
