Bug Description
Binary package hint: fwts
FADT test should be pulling FADT table data from /sys/firmware/
Also, reading the GAS data from the FADT was not fully implemented, so the tests failed even when the ACPI data was correct.

Freeze Exception request:
a) A description of the proposed changes, with sufficient detail to estimate their potential impact on the distribution:
1. Version 0.18.2: acpi/tables and was not decoding FADT GAS data or 64 bit addresses correctly. Also added some extra address and port width information when FADT tests detect a mismatch in FADT table, otherwise the tests are not very useful when a test detects a failure.
Fix FADT test, which was reading the wrong ACPI table from /sys/firmware/
b) A rationale for the exception, explaining the benefit of the change:
Will fix a broken FADT test.
c) Any additional information which would be helpful in considering the decision.
This is required for OEM firmware testing.
