ARC stability of  the ACPI interfaces is something like
contract project private or somesuch.  The fact is that the
ACPI CA interfaces are third-party and prone to change.

In the case of AcpiGetFirmwareTable(), the change is
simple - it's been retired and replaced with AcpiGetTable().

A number of headers have changed, as well.

I'd be happy to lend a hand a hand with the merge, Bill.
