ACPI tables may comprise either RSDT, XSDT, or both. The current code fails
to check the presence of the RSDT table before accessing it. This leads to
an exception if the RSDT table is not provided.

The XSDT table takes precedence over the RSDT table.

The return values of list_rsdt() and list_rsdp() are always zero and not
checked. Remove the return values.

Addresses in the XSDT table are 64-bit. Adjust the output accordingly.

As the RSDT table has to be ignored if the XSDT command is present there is
no need to compare the tables in a display command. Anyway the
specification does not require that the sequence of addresses in the RSDT
and XSDT table are the same.

The FACS table header does not provide revision information. Correct the
description of dump_hdr().

Adjust the ACPI test to match the changed output format of the 'acpi list'
command.

(Side question: Do you use --histogram when preparing patches? if no, try it.)

Thanks for reviewing.

No I don't use --histogram.

Without --histogram:
 2 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-)

With --histogram:
 2 files changed, 54 insertions(+), 49 deletions(-)

The histogram algorithms finds less commonalities. Why should I prefer this?

With a help of temporary variable this can be rewritten as

                tmp = 0; // or NULL, I haven't checked the type.

The type would have to be u64. An assignment would not be needed here as none of the code paths below uses it.
