[PATCH 0/4] reduce false positives and increase usabilities

One of the most common feedbacks received in UEFI Plugfest is that
fwts often generates too many false positives, and this is a primary
reason fwts cannot be adopted by OEMs or firmware vendors - false
positives confuse both developers and QAs. This series of patches try
to address some of common sources of false postives in some ways.

Alex Hung (4):
  acpi: syntaxcheck: change it from batch to batch-experimental
  fwts_framework: add an "ifv" option for Independent Firmware Vendor
  dmicheck: skip checks of DMI default values for IFV
  fwts-tests: sync up with the new --ifv option
