The SMBIOS generation code passes pointers as u32. That causes the compiler
to warn on casts to pointers. This patch moves all address pointers to
uintptr_t instead.
Technically u32 would be enough for the current SMBIOS2 style tables, but
we may want to extend the code to SMBIOS3 in the future which is 64bit
address capable.

We will need the SMBIOS generation function on ARM as well going forward,
so let's move it into a non arch specific location.

SeaBIOS is an open source implementation of a 16-bit x86 BIOS.
It can run in an emulator or natively on x86 hardware with the
use of coreboot. With SeaBIOS's help, we can boot some OSes
that require 16-bit BIOS services like Windows/DOS.
As U-Boot, we have to manually create a table where SeaBIOS gets
system information (eg: E820) from. The table unfortunately has
to follow the coreboot table format as SeaBIOS currently supports
booting as a coreboot payload.

For those secondary bootloaders like SeaBIOS who want to live in
the F segment, which conflicts the configuration table address,
now we allow write_tables() to write the configuration tables in
high area (malloc'ed memory).

System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) is a specification for how
motherboard and system vendors present management information
about their products in a standard format by extending the BIOS
interface on Intel architecture systems. As of today the latest
spec is 3.0 and can be downloaded from DMTF website. This commit
adds a simple and minimum required implementation.

Implement write_acpi_table() to create a minimal working ACPI table.
This includes writing FACS, XSDT, RSDP, FADT, MCFG, MADT, DSDT & SSDT
ACPI table entries.
Use a Kconfig option GENERATE_ACPI_TABLE to tell U-Boot whether we need
actually write the APCI table just like we did for PIRQ routing, MP table
and SFI tables. With ACPI table existence, linux kernel gets control of
power management, thermal management, configuration management and
monitoring in hardware.

Implement write_mp_table() to create a minimal working MP table.
This includes an MP floating table, a configuration table header
and all of the 5 base configuration table entries. The I/O interrupt
assignment table entry is created based on the same information used
in the creation of PIRQ routing table from device tree. A check
duplicated entry logic is applied to prevent writing multiple I/O
interrupt entries with the same information.
Use a Kconfig option GENERATE_MP_TABLE to tell U-Boot whether we
need actually write the MP table at the F seg, just like we did for
PIRQ routing and SFI tables. With MP table existence, linux kernel
will switch to I/O APIC and local APIC to process all the peripheral
interrupts instead of 8259 PICs. This takes full advantage of the
multicore hardware and the SMP kernel.
