This needs the same libxl.h #define and xl.cfg update I mentioned before.

The code, docs and commit message all need further consideration of the
interactions with the existing acpi_firmware option which exists in libxl
and is exposed in xl. It allows you to specify some extra tables which are
merged (by hvmloader) into the base ones.

The naming is a bit unfortunate but we are now stuck with those semantics
for the existing option I think. If we can distinguish partial from full
tables in the tools reusing the name and doing so might be the best
approach.

If we can't tell the difference then the new option needs some suitable
name such that it is clear it is the full or base table or something.
