[PATCH] tools: Mark ACPI SDTs as NVS in the PVH build path

[Alejandro Vallejo <alejandro.vallejo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Commit cefeffc7e583 marked ACPI tables as NVS in the hvmloader path
because SeaBIOS may otherwise just mark it as RAM. There is, however,
yet another reason to do it even in the PVH path. Xen's incarnation of
AML relies on having access to some ACPI tables (e.g: _STA of Processor
objects relies on reading the processor online bit in its MADT entry)

This is problematic if the OS tries to reclaim ACPI memory for page
tables as it's needed for runtime and can't be reclaimed after the OSPM
is up and running.

Fixes: de6d188a519f("hvmloader: flip "ACPI data" to "ACPI NVS" type for ACPI 
table region)"

I really, really, really dislike this idea of accessing the MADT from
AML. In time I'll try to implement something to stop doing it, but for
the time being I find it preferable to align libxl to hvmloader rather
than trying to restrict what's reclaimable and what isn't.
