As far as acpidump's ability to dump the binary tables from memory (DSDT,
MADT), that will actually increase.  I'd like to have SSDT and others be
accessible through acpidump.  All acpidump will lose is the intrinsic code
to dump the tables to stdout.  Even that will still be accessible through
a command line flag for acpidump calling iasl -d to do the parsing.

No changes to acpidump will be made until iasl and acpicadb are imported
and working.
