So we won't be fishing in a global pool of information at ACPI table creation time as I had expected / advertized before. Instead any required bits are gradually collected into the guest info structure while creating / configuring the machine. This is likely a better approach; the set of dependencies for all ACPI tables together are tracked explicitly in guest info. Also, we don't collect the bits from the outside, breaching encapsulation of devices; devices publish the bits. Reviewed-by: Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com>
