The current code does a lot of mixing of qemu provided and seabios
provided data to build the acpi tables.  This patch extends that.
Unfortunately, I find it confusing because someone then needs to look
through both the seabios and qemu code to understand how the acpi
tables are generated.

Could we just have qemu build the hpet tables and pass them through to
seabios?  Perhaps using the qemu_cfg_acpi_additional_tables() method.
