[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 5/5] acpi: add an option to disable builtin tables

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

Serves to save a bit of memory, and is helpful
for debugging (making sure tables come from qemu).

Memory stats:
Enabled:
Total size: 128776  Fixed: 59100  Free: 2296 (used 98.2% of 128KiB rom)
Disabled:
Total size: 119836  Fixed: 58996  Free: 11236 (used 91.4% of 128KiB rom)
