Bug Description

According to various sources* , the FACS should be aligned on a 64 byte boundary. We should sanity check this in the fwts acpitables check - see function acpi_table_check_fadt().

* sources:
Section 5.2.10 Firmware ACPI Control Structure (FACS) of version 4.0 of the ACPI specification
