Most of early-quirks.c makes only sense with ACPI. The only exception would
be the ATI timer override check, but frankly it's fairly unlikely that there
are any ATI based boards around who still have mptables. Non ACPI
tables would very likely just run in PIC mode and then need no timer overrides
anyways.
Originally on i386 the early quirks equivalent was 100% ACPI specific.
