Dear Bin:

I have a suggetion that the acpi specification definition such as all acpi 
table structure definition  should be place in /include directory.
and write_acpi_tables function can be placed in platform directory.  Creating 
acpi table mothod  can be diffrent between x86 and arm.

Thank you
Steven Hao

Yes, we all are aware that modifications are needed to the existing
x86 ACPI support to support ARM. We don't want to create 2 ACP
