... BTW this is exactly the kind of hard-to-predict unreliability of
ReadyToBoot callbacks that I was worried about. The patches that I
posted looked for the "etc/table-loader" fw_cfg file, which directly
corresponds to the absence of the "-no-acpi" switch. With a ReadyToBoot
callback, we depend on a larger, and fuzzier, pile of state.

I'm not suggesting that we return to my series -- I think this one can
be fixed up by looking for the FADT in particular --, I'd just like if
we all grew a healthy aversion and distrust to ReadyToBoot callbacks.
Their perceived simplicity is deceptive.
