Subject: [PATCH 14/18] randstruct: Disable randomization of ACPICA structs

Since the ACPICA source is maintained externally to the kernel, we can
neither switch it to designated initializers nor mark it
__no_randomize_layout. Until ACPICA-upstream changes land to handle the
designated initialization, explicitly skip it in the plugin.
