This is a bit too hacky for my taste. First, I would prefer an explicit API
to add a DWORD. Second, I would like to avoid offset math hacks
and make API returning offsets.

Pls see below for a suggestion.

acpi: add build_append_named_dword, returning an offset in buffer

This is a very limited form of support for runtime patching -
similar in functionality to what we can do with ACPI_EXTRACT
macros in python, but implemented in C.

This is to allow ACPI code direct access to data tables -
which is exactly what DataTableRegion is there for, except
no known windows release so far implements DataTableRegion.
