[PATCH] 2.4/2.6 use xdsdt to print table header

[Alex Williamson <alex.williamson-VXdhtT5mjnY@public.gmane.org>]

   I'm resending this patch to get it into the main ACPI source.  This
fixes a problem where the DSDT pointer in the FADT is NULL because it
uses the 64bit XDSDT instead.  The current code is happy to map a NULL
address and return success to the caller.  This can crash the system or
printout garbage headers to the console.  It's a simple matter to check
table revision and use the XDSDT in favor of the DSDT.  This has been
living happily in both the 2.4 and 2.6 ia64 tree for some time.  Please
accept.  Thanks,

	Alex
