Copy external ACPI tables to our own buffer instead of mapping them

Copying the tables rather than mapping them (this only applies to the external
tables, not the standard ones, so it is at most a few KB) works around the
issue completely. After my first tests, this seems to resume correctly without
any issue.

A solution which does not require explicit workarounds (blacklisting certain
modules) but which just works is of course preferred.

Now, I don't know nearly enough to tell if this would break (other) things
horribly, or if this goes against some policy, so please comment on wether
something like this should or should not be done, as well as suggest on how
this issue can be worked around permanently (such as a specific blacklist which
enables this on known bad BIOS's? etc).

Patch is against latest ACPI tree git, should apply against both test and
release branches.

Dariush: is it possible for you to test this ? It should apply against a
vanilla kernel with at most small modifications.
