Description

Currently the generated ACPI tables have HVLITE as an OEM ID. This should probably be different... In particular, when emulating Hyper-V, we should probably do whatever Hyper-V does.

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Locate the ACPI table generation entry point, then research the OEM ID used by Hyper-V when it is emulated. Done means generated tables no longer report HVLITE and use the appropriate Hyper-V-compatible identity.
