Hardware: Enable firmware waking vector for both 32-bit and 64-bit FACS.
The root cause of the reported bug might be one of the followings: 1. BIOS may favor the 64-bit firmware waking vector address when the version of the FACS is greater than 0 and Linux currently only supports resuming from the real mode, so the 64-bit firmware waking vector has never been set and might be invalid to BIOS while the commit enables higher version FACS. 2. BIOS may favor the FACS reported via the "FIRMWARE_CTRL" field in the FADT while the commit doesn't set the firmware waking vector address of the FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL", it only sets the firware waking vector address of the FACS reported by "X_FIRMWARE_CTRL". This patch excludes the cases that can trigger the bugs caused by the root cause 2. There is no handshaking mechanism can be used by OSPM to tell BIOS which FACS is currently used. Thus the FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL" may still be used by BIOS and the 0 value of the 32-bit firmware waking vector might trigger such failure. This patch enables the firmware waking vectors for both 32bit/64bit FACS tables in order to ensure we can exclude the cases that trigger the bugs caused by the root cause 2. The exclusion is split into 2 commits so that if it turns out not to be necessary, this single commit can be reverted without affecting the useful one. Lv Zheng.
