ACPICA: Hardcode access width for the reset register.
The ACPI spec requires the reset register width to be 8, so we
now hardcode it and ignore the FADT value. This provides/maintains
compatibility with other ACPI implementations that have allowed
BIOS code with bad register width values to go unnoticed.
