Roger Pau Monne 26c4f0b8a4 tools/libacpi: fix sed usage
Current usage of sed in the libacpi Makefile make uses of non-POSIX options,
that are not available on all the OSes supported by the Xen tools.

The '-i' option has slightly different semantics between GNU and BSD sed
implementations, while on the GNU version the suffix is optional, on the BSD
one it is not. Also BSD sed seems to have problems parsing the script
itself, reporting "extra characters at the end of d command".

Fix those issues by using a temporary intermediate file, and replace the
script with a simpler version that achieves the same purpose (removing the
initial license header comment).

ACPI builder for domain firmware


BUILDING ACPI
-----------------
Users of ACPI builder are expected to provide an include file that makes available
the following:
* strncpy
* printf
* NULL
* test_bit
* offsetof

When compiling build.c, the name of this include file should be given to
compiler as -DLIBACPI_STDUTILS=\"<filename>\". See tools/firmware/hvmloader/Makefile
for an example.

Note on DSDT Table
------------------
DSDT table source code is acpi_dsdt.asl
It is already compiled and the output is acpi_dsdt.c
Usually, user is not expected to change the acpi_dsdt.asl.
In case that the acpi_dsdt.asl need to be updated, please 
Follow the instruction:

# make acpi_dsdt.c

Note:
DSDT compiler "iasl" is needed. By default, it will be downloaded 
using wget in Makefile. if it failed, please download manually from 
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm. 
then compile and install iasl
