Andreas Kling f614f0e2cb Kernel: Add typed_map<T>(PhysicalAddress) and use it in ACPI parsing ...

There was a frequently occurring pattern of "map this physical address
into kernel VM, then read from it, then unmap it again".

This new typed_map() encapsulates that logic by giving you back a
typed pointer to the kind of structure you're interested in accessing.

It returns a TypedMapping<T> that can be used mostly like a pointer.
When destroyed, the TypedMapping object will unmap the memory. :^)
