Stephen reports that the ACPI helper library rework,
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_TABLE, introduces a new compiler warning:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: acpi_parse_entries_array: EXPORT_SYMBOL used
for init symbol. Remove __init or EXPORT_SYMBOL.
Delete this export as it turns out it is unneeded, and future work wraps
this in another exported helper. Note that in general
EXPORT_SYMBOL_ACPI_LIB() is needed for exporting symbols that are marked
__init_or_acpilib, but in this case no export is required.

Some of the routines in ACPI driver/acpi/tables.c can be shared with
parsing CDAT. CDAT is a device-provided data structure that is formatted
similar to a platform provided ACPI table. CDAT is used by CXL and can
exist on platforms that do not use ACPI. Split out the common routine
from ACPI to accommodate platforms that do not support ACPI and move that
to /lib. The common routines can be built outside of ACPI if
FIRMWARE_TABLES is selected.
