Mention that we now support ACPI on x86_64 microVMs. Also, announce the
deprecation of MPTable and suggest that Firecracker users should migrate
to using kernels with ACPI support.

 ### Added
 
+- [#4428](https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/pull/4428): Added
+  ACPI support to Firecracker for x86_64 microVMs. Currently, we pass ACPI
+  tables with information about the available vCPUs, interrupt controllers,
+  VirtIO and legacy x86 devices to the guest. This allows booting kernels
+  without MPTable support. Please see our
+  [kernel policy documentation](docs/kernel-policy.md) for more information
+  regarding relevant kernel configurations.
