Will reported UBSAN warnings:
UBSAN: null-ptr-deref in drivers/acpi/acpica/tbfadt.c:459:37
UBSAN: null-ptr-deref in arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c:596:6

Looks like the emulated offsetof macro ACPI_OFFSET is causing these. We
can avoid this by using the compiler builtin, __builtin_offsetof.

The non-kernel runtime of UBSAN would print:
runtime error: member access within null pointer of type
for this macro.
