system/services/acpi and system/services/fdt exist as documented
placeholders (silent clean-exit mains; the headers say exactly what each
becomes and why). The build's -Ddiscovery=acpi|fdt option fills the
ramdisk's neutral 'discovery' slot — the device manager will spawn
"discovery" by that name in M20.3 and never learn which firmware it is
on (m19-m20-plan.md decision 7). x86 defaults to acpi; the aarch64
target flips the default when it lands.
