But most arguments of -acpitable (e.g. oem_id) apply to FADT as well.
In fact "-acpitable fadt=3" perhaps could be written as "-acpitable fadt,rev=3".
So one possibility if you add '*fadt': 'bool' to AcpiTableOptions is the
following:
if (hdrs->has_file + hdrs->has_data + hdrs->has_fadt > 1) {
error_setg(&err, "'-acpitable' requires one of 'data' or 'file' or
'fadt'");
goto out;
}
if (hdrs->has_fadt && hdrs->fadt) {
fadt_options = hdrs;
return;
}
