This is one way of doing. The other one, with would likely produce a
better visual, would be to use tables, e. g.:

     ==============                  ==========
     ACPI_UTILITIES                  0x00000001
     ACPI_HARDWARE                   0x00000002
     ==============                  ==========

Of course, if you use tables here, you need to be consistent along
similar cases inside the document.

while both works, I prefer using tables on such cases.

Either way:
