if you are after reducing start up time it may be better to leave alone
acpi-build.c with a bunch of legacy/compat stuff and create
microvm specific acpi file, and extract from acpi-build.c only common
bits that are necessary to produce tables (i.e. do something similar
hw/arm/virt-acpi-build.c)
PS:
side-note: guest kernel insist on finding PCI where it doesn't exists
[ 0.301104] ACPI: bus type PCI registered
[ 0.301717] acpiphp: ACPI Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.5
[ 0.302180] PCI: Fatal: No config space access function found
it's probably the first time x86 generic kernel sees machine without PCI,
and it probably could be fixed saving another 10-20ms
