ACPI: Add acpi_force_32bit_fadt_addr option to force 32 bit FADT addresses
Some HP laptops seem to have invalid 64 bit FADT X_PM* addresses which are causing various boot issues. In these cases, it would be useful to force ACPI to use the valid legacy 32 bit equivalent PM addresses. Add a acpi_force_32bit_fadt_addr to set the ACPICA acpi_gbl_use32_bit_fadt_addresses to TRUE to force this override.
