/**

  The InstallAcpiTable() function allows a caller to install an
  ACPI table. When successful, the table will be linked by the
  RSDT/XSDT. AcpiTableBuffer specifies the table to be installed.
  InstallAcpiTable() will make a copy of the table and insert the
  copy into the RSDT/XSDT. InstallAcpiTable() must insert the new
  table at the end of the RSDT/XSDT. To prevent namespace
  collision, ACPI tables may be created using UEFI ACPI table
  format. If this protocol is used to install a table with a
  signature already present in the system, the new table will not
  replace the existing table. It is a platform implementation
  decision to add a new table with a signature matching an
  existing table or disallow duplicate table signatures and
  return EFI_ACCESS_DENIED. On successful output, TableKey is
  initialized with a unique key. Its value may be used in a
  subsequent call to UninstallAcpiTable to remove an ACPI table.
  If an EFI application is running at the time of this call, the
  relevant EFI_CONFIGURATION_TABLE pointer to the RSDT is no
  longer considered valid.


  @param This                 A pointer to a EFI_ACPI_TABLE_PROTOCOL.

  @param AcpiTableBuffer      A pointer to a buffer containing the
                              ACPI table to be installed.

  @param AcpiTableBufferSize  Specifies the size, in bytes, of
                              the AcpiTableBuffer buffer.


  @param TableKey             Returns a key to refer to the ACPI table.

  @retval EFI_SUCCESS           The table was successfully inserted

  @retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER Either AcpiTableBuffer is NULL,
                                TableKey is NULL, or

                                field embedded in the ACPI table
                                pointed to by AcpiTableBuffer
                                are not in sync.

  @retval EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES  Insufficient resources exist to
                                complete the request.
  @retval EFI_ACCESS_DENIED     The table signature matches a table already
                                present in the system and platform policy
                                does not allow duplicate tables of this type.
