Hah, I see the problem.
VIST table is loaded in the \_SB._INI method in acpi_init, before the execution
of acpi_system_init.
so ACPI tries to build a sys attribute for the vist table under
/sys/firmware/acpi/tables, while it can't handle the NULL table signature.

two solution for this:
1. override the null table signature to "SSDT" or something like this. 
2. check the signature in driver/acpi/system.c. for a null name table, either
override the signature or don't export it to user space at all.

And I prefer the first one.
what do you think, bob?
