ACPICA: Tables: Do not validate signature for dynamic table load ACPICA commit d3c944f2cdc8c7e847b7942b1864f285189f7bce Windows seems to allow arbitrary table signatures for Load/load_table opcodes: ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Table has invalid signature [PRAD] (0x44415250) So this patch removes dynamic load signature checks. However we need to find a way to avoid table loading against tables like MADT. This is not covered by this commit. This Windows behavior has been validated on link #1. An end user bug report can also be found on link #2. This patch also includes simple cleanup for static load signature check code. Reported by Ye Xiaolong, Fixed by Lv Zheng.
