AFAICT there's something very strange going on here. Setting
HVM_PARAM_ACPI_IOPORTS_LOCATION was done here unconditionally after
calling acpi_build_tables, which means that any selection done by the
BIOS was overwritten here.

Also the FADT has the control/event register V1 values set by default,
and they are not changed anywhere AFAICT. IMHO, hotplug for qemu-trad
has not worked in a long time I guess...
