* Simplify acpi_add_table
* fix some comments * Simplify ACPI wakeup code and make it work without a memory hole * Add resume entries to global GDT so we don't need our own for resume. * add ECDT description to acpi.h for anyone who might need it ;-) * remove rather stupid math to get the right number of MAX_ACPI_TABLES and just define a reasonable maximum for now.
