This is an ACPICA data type which means that it is used by multiple OSes, not only
by Linux. We're just a user here. :-)

Portability between different OSes is the reason.

But it is called "the waking vector" by the spec, so the naming here follows
the spec.

It can't do that in real mode, because the 64-bit one is only supposed to be
used when the entry point is above 4 GB in the physical address space.
