Make sure ACPI structures are byte-aligned
Apparently, guests are very tolerant of corrupt ACPI tables because our
tables have been badly corrupted for some time now. A version of
Knoppix using a 2.6.11 kernel refused to boot and it turned out it was
due to the interrupt override table introduced by the recent HPET
commit.
This patch updates the BIOS and introduces a patch to pack the ACPI
tables. If you have a guest that used to work and is broken by the this
commit, let me know. We have some weird hacks in the tables that I
suspect are work arounds for this bug.
