Yes, it is not related to ACPI on powerpc, I will investigate it will cause
compile warning or not if I don't combine this.

yes, this is the strange part, the value is arch-dependent.

so, how about forget this patch and move boot_option_idle_override
related code into arch directory such as arch/x86/acpi/boot.c for
x86?

Yes, That's why I did not enable acpi idle driver on ARM64 for now.
