2.0 GUID search fails.

In "-n" mode, reserved tables (RSDP/RSDT/XSDT/DSDT/FACS) are dumped
multiple times due a missing instance check in osl_get_bios_table().
This patch fixes this issue.

It is reported that there are buggy BIOSes in the world: AMI uses an XSDT
compiler for early BIOSes, this compiler will generate XSDT with a NULL
entry. The affected BIOS versions are "AMI BIOS F2-F4".
Original solution on Linux is to use an alternative heathy root table
instead of the ill one. This commit is:
Commit: 671cc68dc61f029d44b43a681356078e02d8dab8
Subject: ACPICA: Back port and refine validation of the XSDT root table.
This is an example of such XSDT dumped from B85-HD3 (AMI F3 BIOS):
[000h 0000 4] Signature : "XSDT" [Extended System Description Table]
[004h 0004 4] Table Length : 00000074
[008h 0008 1] Revision : 01
[009h 0009 1] Checksum : 18
[00Ah 0010 6] Oem ID : "ALASKA"
[010h 0016 8] Oem Table ID : "A M I"
[018h 0024 4] Oem Revision : 01072009
[01Ch 0028 4] Asl Compiler ID : "AMI "
[020h 0032 4] Asl Compiler Revision : 00010013
[024h 0036 8] ACPI Table Address 0 : 00000000BA5F8180
[02Ch 0044 8] ACPI Table Address 1 : 00000000BA5F8290
[034h 0052 8] ACPI Table Address 2 : 00000000BA5F8308
[03Ch 0060 8] ACPI Table Address 3 : 00000000BA5F8848
[044h 0068 8] ACPI Table Address 4 : 00000000BA5F9320
[04Ch 0076 8] ACPI Table Address 5 : 00000000BA5F9360
[054h 0084 8] ACPI Table Address 6 : 00000000BA5F9398
[05Ch 0092 8] ACPI Table Address 7 : 00000000BA5F9708
[064h d100 8] ACPI Table Address 8 : 00000000BA5FC9A8
[06Ch 0108 8] ACPI Table Address 9 : 0000000000000000
But according to the bug report, the XSDT in fact is not broken. In the
above XSDT, ACPI Table Address 1-8 contains the same value as RSDT. The
differences can only be seen on the following 2 entries:
1. The first entry points to a FADT whose Revision is 5 while the first
entry in RSDT points to a FADT whose Revision is 2.
The FADT dumped from the address indicated by the first entry of XSDT:
FACP @ 0x00000000BA5F8180
0000: 46 41 43 50 0C 01 00 00<05>4B 41 4C 41 53 4B 41 FACP.....KALASKA
...
The FADT dumped from the address indicated by the first entry of RSDT:
FACP @ 0x00000000BA5ED0F0
0000: 46 41 43 50 84 00 00 00<02>A7 41 4C 41 53 4B 41 FACP......ALASKA
...
2. The last entry is a NULL terminator.
According to the test result, the Revision 5 FADT is accessible. Thus the
original solution turns out to be a work around that is preventing the
higher revision tables to be used for such platforms (they are all x86-64
platforms, and should use XSDT and higher revision FADT).
This patch offers a new solution, where a sanity check is performed before
installing a table address from XSDT. If the entry is NULL, it is simply
discarded.
Note that, this patch doesn't remove the original solution, so for Linux
kernel, this commit is actually a no-op, but it allows acpidump to be
working on such platforms. By doing so, we allow another easy revertable
commit to enable this feature so that when that commit is reverted, the
useful sanity check will not be affected. Lv Zheng.

This patch adds "-x" and "-x -x" options to disable XSDT for acpidump.
The single "-x" can be used to stop using XSDT, RSDT will be forced to find
static tables, note that XSDT will still be dumped. The double "-x" can
stop dumping XSDT, which is useful when the XSDT address reported by RSDP
is pointing to an invalid address.
It is reported there are platforms having broken XSDT shipped, acpidump
will stop working while accessing such XSDT. This patch adds new option so
that users can force acpidump to dump tables listed in the RSDT. Lv Zheng.

This patch enforces a rule to always use ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG for RSDP
signatures passed from table header or ACPI_SIG_RSDP so that truncated
string comparison can be avoided. This could help to fix the issue that
"RSD " matches but "RSD PTR " doesn't match. Lv Zheng.

This patch fixes an issue that the while loop is not needed as fread()
should return exact the bytes of expected.
The patch is tested by runing diff against the output of "-c" mode and
the normal mode, and only finds the following differences:
1. table addresses: the "-c" mode will always fill 0x0000000000000000 for
the address.
2. RSDP/RSDT/XSDT: there is no generation of such tables for "-c" mode.
So the test result shows the fix is valid. Lv Zheng.

The acpidump is initiated by Bob Moore and Chao Guan, fixed and completed
by Lv Zheng.
This patch is a generation of the commit that adds acpidump release
automation into ACPICA release process. Lv Zheng.
Note that this patch doesn't replace the kernel shipped acpidump with the
new acpidump. The replacement is done by further patches.
