acpica-tools - ACPICA tools for the development and debug of ACPI tables

Description:

The ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA) project provides an OS-independent
reference implementation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
Specification (ACPI).  ACPICA code contains those portions of ACPI meant to
be directly integrated into the host OS as a kernel-resident subsystem, and
a small set of tools to assist in developing and debugging ACPI tables.

This package contains only the user-space tools needed for ACPI table
development, not the kernel implementation of ACPI.  The following commands
are installed:
   -- iasl: compiles ASL (ACPI Source Language) into AML (ACPI Machine
      Language), suitable for inclusion as a DSDT in system firmware.
      It also can disassemble AML, for debugging purposes.
   -- acpibin: performs basic operations on binary AML files (e.g.,
      comparison, data extraction)
   -- acpidump: write out the current contents of ACPI tables
   -- acpiexec: simulate AML execution in order to debug method definitions
   -- acpihelp: display help messages describing ASL keywords and op-codes
   -- acpisrc: manipulate the ACPICA source tree and format source files
      for specific environments
   -- acpixtract: extract binary ACPI tables from acpidump output (see
      also the pmtools package)

This version of the tools is being released under GPLv2 license.

Packages

- Update source tree to 20240322 version from upstream.  NB: this update
  is done in conjunction with removing s390x support due to the large
  number of patches that are now rendered obsolete.  Closes BZ#2138250.
- Note, too, that the upstream version of the tarball is missing two
  commits and has the wrong name; discussed this with upstream and
  included a patch with the two commits to correct this, and renamed
  the tarballs to try to maintain consistency. So, upstream is actually
  named version 20240321, but it should be 20240322 according to their
  own git tree (see tag G20240322 on github).
- Removed executable bit from all the upstream source files
- Remove big-endian support, aka s390x.  Closes BZ#2298855.
- Remove several 32-bit only patches that are also obsolete since they
  are for unsupported architectures (thanks to pbonzini and PR#5).
- Remove PIE patches since that is currently the default (again, thanks
  to pbonzini and PR#5)
