Xen always generates as XSDT table even if the firmware provided an RSDT table.
Copy the RSDT header from the firmware table, adjusting the signature, for the
XSDT table when not provided by the firmware.

This patch is used for development and testing of hyperlaunch using the QEMU
emulator. After dicussiong with Stefano, he was okay with me addressing Jan's
comment regarding the table signature and reposting for acceptance.

Changes in v3:
- ensure the constructed XSDT table always has the correct signature

Especially with this tag the description really wants to say what the problem
is that is being solved here. XSDT having superseded RSDT for ages, it seems
unlikely that there might be systems around that are new enough to run PVH
Dom0, yet come without an XSDT. I can only guess ...

... that for whatever reason qemu doesn't surface an XSDT (at which point a
follow-on question would be why this wouldn't want dealing with in qemu
instead).

This is in no way "blindly". The size of the table elements being different
between RSDT and XSDT makes it mandatory to have the correct signature. Else
the consumer of the struct is going to be misled.

As providing an RSDT doesn't exclude from a XSDT also being provided.

Either here, or in the code comment below (or in both places), I would
detail that this is required for QEMU, that only exposes RSDT but no
XSDT.

The "blindly" IMO refers to the fact that the table might already have
the right signature, but this is not checked, IOW we could do:

if ( xsdt->header.signature[0] == 'R' )
    xsdt->header.signature[0] = 'X';

Right, and indeed I was seeing this as a possible further interpretation.
Yet given multiple ways of reading this, I'm of the opinion that it wants
adjusting. ", ... unconditionally ensure it has ... " may already do.
Simply dropping "blindly" would too be okay with me.

FWIW, I'm fine with any of the proposed adjustments.

Thanks, Roger.

Ping?

I think this is a useful change, could we please have a new version
with the proposed adjustments?

Thanks, Roger.
