Seems that the MADT table contains reserved subtable type (0x7F),
so this is traded as a wrong type in our patch.

This was called by early_acpi_parse_madt_lapic_addr_ovr() in
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c, which is scanning MADT for the first
time when booting, so it will fail the boot process when finding
the reserved MADT subtable type.

> [    0.000000] ACPI: Invalid BIOS MADT, disabling ACPI

As the spec said in Table 5-46 (ACPI 6.0):

0x10-0x7F Reserved. OSPM skips structures of the reserved type.

Should we just ignore those reserved type when scanning the MADT
table? In the patch "ACPI: add in a bad_madt_entry() function to
eventually replace the macro", we just trade it as wrong, that's
why we failed to boot the system.

Thanks
