[PATCH v2 2/2] ACPI: sysfs: Expose BDAT data region

[Jamie Nguyen <jamien@nvidia.com>]

The BIOS Data ACPI Table (BDAT) points to a firmware data structure that
carries memory training results and other boot-time data. The table is
only a pointer: /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/BDAT holds the ACPI header and
a Generic Address Structure, and the data itself lives in reserved
memory.

Expose the data as /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/data/BDAT, as is already
done for BERT and CCEL. Unlike those tables, BDAT carries no length, so
check the "BDATHEAD" signature at the start of the data structure and
take the size from its BiosDataStructSize field. Reject sizes smaller
than that header, and document the new file in Documentation/ABI.

The BDAT specification is published by the UEFI Forum [1].
