please, drop non relevant hunk, or move it out into a separate path

move it before acpi_table_begin() so that name would match with what actually 
happens
and adjust 4/13 to account for that

it's not safe to add this without compat logic, as it changes size of linker
table and possibly layout.

I'd suggest to  partially combine this with use_hest_addr patch.
One way to do it cleanly would be to move part introducing
use_hest_addr here and set it to false to start with,
and flip default to true one all hest_addr_le code in place.
