I always thought it was done on purpose - ACPI tables that require
more attention are tested in independent tests and simple sanity
checks are done in a single big test.

It is not a bad idea to merge MCFG to acpitables. There are also other
possible tests that we can look into and merge to acpitables - dmar,
fadt and hpet_check.
