With the addition of ARM64 that does not have a traditional BIOS to scan add a config option which is selected on x86 and ia64 to do the traditional BIOS scanning for tables.

Can we check for DMI_SCAN_MACHINE_NON_EFI_FALLBACK instead? It will only be enabled by x86/ia64 and should also prevent the case where a bug in efi.flags causes ARM64 ACPI code to poke around in memory where it shouldnt.
