ACPI, APEI: Cleanup alignment-aware accesses
We do use memcpy to avoid access alignment issues between firmware and OS. Now we can use a better and standard way to avoid this issue. While at it, simplify some variable names to avoid the 80 cols limit and use structure assignment instead of unnecessary memcpy. No functional changes. Because ERST record id cache is implemented in memory to increase the access speed via caching ERST content we can refrain from using memcpy there too and use regular assignment instead.
