while the patch set works on most of the machines I'm testing around,
I found kexec(1) fails to load kernel on a few machines if this patch
is applied.  Those machines don't have IORES_DESC_ACPI_TABLES region
and have ACPI tables in IORES_DESC_ACPI_NV_STORAGE region instead.

So I think map_acpi_tables() should try to map both regions.  I tried
following change in addition and it worked.
