Hi tglx,

Thanks for your review.
ACPI_MOVE_64_TO_64 and ACPI_MOVE_16_TO_32 are copied from arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpitb.h
cause I though copying the old code is reliable.
I will delete these two definitions and only using le64_to_cpu and
le16_to_cpu may be enough(since ACPI table is in little endian).
And also add more comments in next version.

Thanks,
Chao Fan
