Add support for acpi_user_table configfs items that allows the user to
load new tables. The data attributes contains the table data and once it
is filled from userspace the table is loaded and ACPI devices are
enumerated.

Description:
This represents the ACPI subsystem entry point directory. It
contains sub-groups corresponding to ACPI configurable options.
+
+What: /config/acpi/table
+Date: April 2016
+KernelVersion: 4.6
+Description:
+
+ This group contains the configuration for user defined ACPI
+ tables. The attributes of a user define table are:
+
+ data - a binary write only attribute that the user can use to
+ fill in the ACPI aml definitions. Once the aml data is
+ written to this file and the file is closed the table
+ will be loaded and ACPI device will be enumerated. To
+ check if the operation is successful the user must check
+ the error code for close(). If the operation is
+ successful, subsequent writes to this attribute will fail.

+== Loading ACPI SSDTs from configfs ==
+
+This option allows loading of user defined SSDTs from userspace via the configfs
+interface. The CONFIG_ACPI_CONFIGFS option must be select and configfs must be
+mounted. In the following examples, we assume that configfs has been mounted in
+/config.
+
+New tables can be loading by creating new directories in /config/acpi/table/ and
+writing the SSDT aml code in the data attribute:
+
+cd /config/acpi/table
+mkdir my_ssdt
+cat ~/ssdt.aml > my_ssdt/data
