Igor Mammedov c151fd8710 acpi: add helper routines to initialize ACPI tables
Patch introduces acpi_table_begin()/ acpi_table_end() API
that hides pointer/offset arithmetic from user as opposed
to build_header(), to prevent errors caused by it [1].

 acpi_table_begin():
     initializes table header and keeps track of
     table data/offsets
 acpi_table_end():
     sets actual table length and tells bios loader
     where table is for the later initialization on
     guest side.
