I obviously should have done this before:
I now removed the old version, I already had added to our
SUSE head branch and added this one.

This should trigger various .config compile options on different
architectures and when builds succeed, I will again post
(privately to hpa again) the patchset.

The bug was to put an empty declaration of:
static inline void arch_reserve_mem_area(acpi_physical_address addr,
size_t size)
{
}
only into !CONFIG_X86 && CONFIG_ACPI defined area.
Result was that kernel did not build on X86 with ACPI not defined.

Another minor change I am going to add is to name the newly
introduced Kconfig option (bool "..."):

config ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE
bool "ACPI tables can be passed via uncompressed cpio in initrd"

Question:
Is there a way to get these test builds enabled on a git tree
hosted on git.kernel.org?
I now have an account and if there is some kind of such functionality
I would like to try this out...

Or maybe there is some toolkit so that I can clone my git tree locally
and initiate these test builds here locally?
That would make it easier to pre-test patches in various .configs before
submitting.

Thanks,

Thomas
