Looking at aarch64 it looks like the guest kernel doesn't use acpi but
got a fdt somehow.  Dunno how that happened.  I guess ArmVirtPkg exports
the FDT using EFI interfaces, then either the kernel gets it directly or
grub is able to get and pass on the FDT.  In any case it seems think the
same should work for 32bit without too much trouble.

cheers,
