FADT Major.Minor version was introduced in ACPI 5.1, it is the same

In ACPI 5.1, some major gaps are fixed for ARM, such as updates in
MADT table for GIC and SMP init, without those updates, we can not
get the MPIDR for SMP init, and GICv2/3 related init information, so
we can't boot arm64 ACPI properly with table versions predating 5.1.
If firmware provides ACPI tables with ACPI version less than 5.1,
OS will be messed up with those information and have no way to init
smp and GIC, so disable ACPI if we get an FADT table with version
less that 5.1.
