3.5.7u1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Josh Triplett <josh at joshtriplett.org>

commit 785107923a83d8456bbd8564e288a24d84109a46 upstream.

Some new ACPI 5.0 tables reference resources stored in boot services
memory, so keep that memory around until we have ACPI and can extract
data from it.
