Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / tables: table upgrade from built-in initrd

In some scenario, we need to build initrd with kernel in a single image.
This can simplify system deployment process by downloading the whole system
once, such as in IC verification.

This patch adds support to upgrade ACPI tables from built-in initrd.
