Yes, Ingo has given similar comments for SFI code. I thought about 2
methods for this:
1. these "#ifdef...#endif" covers three functions:
 extern int io_apic_get_unique_id(int ioapic, int apic_id);
 extern int io_apic_get_version(int ioapic);
 extern int io_apic_get_redir_entries(int ioapic);	
how about just completely removing the "#ifdef...#endif", as ACPI/SFI 
codes are heavily used on x86 platforms, and it may bring one hundred
additional bytes for None-ACPI/SFI platforms 
2. create a new "CONFIG_ACPI_SFI" option, using this new option to cover
this case, and let "ACPI"/"SFI" option select it in Kconfig files

any comments? thanks
