Hmm, that's interesting in that they're not passing the 'sig' parameter
to -acpitable at all. Reading the QEMU code it seems 'sig' is indeed
optional, merely used to override the 'sig' that is embedded in the
acpitable content loaded from the file.

This is actually good, as it means we would not need to add XML syupport
for every possible ACPI table type. We can just rely on the built-in
default, which would also make it practical to reconcile the Xen problem
below
