ACPI: initramfs DSDT override support

Permits to load of DSDT (the main ACPI table) from initramfs. In case this
option is selected, the initramfs is parsed at ACPI initialization (very early
boot time) to look for a file called "DSDT.aml". This aims at allowing users to
override the DSDT without recompiling the kernel.

Version 0.9 uses a different approach for reading the initramfs which avoids
using the filesystem infrastructure. It leverages the initramfs unpack code to find
and unpack the DSDT directly into the memory.

v0.9a: Fix compilation on non-ACPI platforms by René Rebe <rene@exactcode.de>
v0.9b: Declare more functions __init by Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com>
v0.9c: Allow root to be / instead of nothing, bug reported by Robert Hampovcan
