x86: parsing for ACPI "SAPIC" table
Add kernel support for new ACPI "sapic" tables that contain 16-bit APICIDs. This patch simply adds parsing of an optional SAPIC table if present. Otherwise, the traditional local APIC table is used. Note: the SAPIC table is not a new ACPI table - it exists on other architectures but is not currently recognized by x86_64.
