    ACPICA: Clear reserved fields for incoming ACPI 1.0 FADTs
    
    Fixed a problem with the internal FADT conversion where ACPI 1.0
    FADTs that contained invalid non-zero values in reserved fields
    could cause later failures because these fields have meaning in
    later revisions of the FADT. For incoming ACPI 1.0 FADTs, these
    fields are now always zeroed. (Preferred_PM_Profile, PSTATE_CNT,
    CST_CNT, IAPC_BOOT_FLAGS.)
