I'm noticing that even on 32-bit arm there are ACPI tables generated and
inserted into fw_cfg, so is there any reason OTHER than lack of firmware
support for ACPI not being supported on 32-bit arm ?

Thanks to both of you for the pointers, I will probably invest some
time in getting set up with UEFI firmware for my arm guests at some
point, when the dust settles on all the other fun :)
