ACPI: Validate XSDT, use RSDT if XSDT fails
ACPI 1.0 used an RSDT with 32-bit physical addresses.
ACPI 2.0 adds an XSDT with 32-bit physical addresses.
An ACPI 2.0 aware OS is supposed to use the XSDT
(when present) instead of the RSDT.
However, several systems have failed because the XSDT
contains NULL entries -- while it is missing pointers
to needed tables, such as SSDTs.
When we find an XSDT with NULL entries, discard it
and use the ACPI 1.0 RSDT instead.
