** Description changed:

  SRU Justification:
  
  [Impact]
  The FACS field in the ACPI table is optional, but can be used communicate the 
hardware_signature field.  If this field changes on resuming from a hibernation 
a clean reboot should happen rather than the resume from hibernation.
  
  On hardware reduced platforms[0] this field may exist but it is not
  exposed currently.
  
  [Fix]
  Expose this field even on hardware reduced platforms.

  [Test Plan]
  AWS test.
  
  [Where problems could occur]
- If on hardware reduced platforms that incorrectly support/advertise the FACS 
field, hibernation may break if it returns a hardware signature that changes.  
+ If on hardware reduced platforms that incorrectly support/advertise the FACS 
field, hibernation may break if it returns a hardware signature that changes.
