This patch series modifies existing ACPI table parsers. Now, structure
type values are used as indexes to access a centralized database
containing information on how to parse each structure in the table.

Replacing a 'switch' statements with arrays indexed by the Type value
allows consolidation of metadata about buiding blocks of an ACPI table.
The additional data stored about each structure includes:
- ACPI-defined name
- instance count
- compatible architectures (x86, AArch64, etc...)
- information on how to parse the structure

The new metadata allows more extensive ACPI table contents validation in
acpiview, which is implemented in this patch series.
