Patch: Make ACPI subsystem provide CEDT table

This is a simple ACPI patch. I'm submitting a revised version to 
linux-acpi as opposed to linux-pm at Rafael Wysocki's suggestion.

The patch adds ACPI_SIG_CEDT to table_sigs[] in "drivers/acpi/tables.c".

The change will probably be made by upstream later regardless. But I've 
reviewed cxl-next and it doesn't seem to be present there yet.

Presently, CXL code isn't able to make use of the CEDT table. Subsequent 
to the change, the CEDT table can be used.

If a developer plans to use the CEDT table to program the CXL ports, 
this change is needed. Otherwise, it isn't expected to make a difference.

Subject: Make ACPI subsystem provide CEDT table
Author: Robert Kiraly <me@boldcoder.com>

This is a simple patch to the ACPI subsystem.

The patch  adds  ACPI_SIG_CEDT to table_sigs[] in  "drivers/acpi/
tables.c".

Presently, CXL  code  isn't able to make use of the  CEDT  table.
Subsequent to the change, the CEDT table can be used.

If  a developer  plans to use the CEDT table to  program  the CXL
ports,  this change is needed.  Otherwise,  it isn't  expected to
make a difference.
