In my efiemu I have a code which does exactly the opposite. But additionally it allows the user to replace/add/remove ACPI tables. Perhaps we can share the code and make it also works in cases like replacing some of ACPI tables on pc then putting new rsdp pointer to EBDA, replacing some tables on efi system then using EBDA, modyfiing acpi on efi and putting bew rsdp back to efi and so on.This patch copy the ACPI information to conventional memory and emulated the extended bios data area. With this, linux can find information about ACPI even if efi information is not available, thus resolving the above problem.
