Add the ARM Multiboot module for ACPI, so UEFI or DomU can get the base
address of ACPI tables from it.

+DomU ACPI module
+================================
+
+Xen toolstack passes the domU ACPI tables via a reference in the /chosen node 
of
+the device tree.
+
+Each node contains the following properties:
+
+- compatible
+
+       "xen,guest-acpi", "multiboot,module"
+
+- reg
+
+       Specifies the physical address and the length of the module.

We need to clarify how the firmware can find the RSDP. I.e will it always be at the beginning of the region?

Also, do we really need the size of the region? Would not be simpler to give the base address of RSDP?

Regards,
