[patch 0/2] ACPI: generic initramfs table override support #3

[Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>]

 This patch set contains two patches:

 1) Move populate_rootfs back to start_kernel, so it can be used by
    acpi_early_init
 2) Add the ability to override ACPI tables from the initramfs

 I'd like some review for the second patch. I expect objections to what is
 essentially open coding the top of acpi_load_table in a separate function,
 but Jan Beulich advised me that modifying code under acpica/ was not
 recommended. Ideally there would be a way to replace an existing table
 before it is loaded, or at the very least be able to request the table
 descriptor instead of just the table header.

 I've tested this patch set successfully at home, but I don't have a
 particularly exotic setup.

 Thanks!

 -Jeff
